Summary
Rose Hill requires every peddler, solicitor, or transient vendor to register with the Town Clerk before doing business in town. Section 111.02 demands a written statement with personal details, the goods or services offered, and vehicle information, and § 111.03 requires wearing a town-issued solicitor's badge while working.
SOLICITOR. ... Any person who travels from place to place taking or offering to take orders for the sale of goods for future delivery or for personal services to be performed in the future, whether or not samples are displayed or money is collected in advance, and any person who uses or occupies any building or premises for the sole purpose of taking or offering to take orders for the sale of goods for future delivery or for personal services to be performed in the future, whether or not samples are displayed or money is collected in advance. ... Each and every person doing business in the town as a peddler, solicitor, or transient vendor shall file with the Town Clerk, on a form to be provided for that purpose, a statement setting forth the following information.
Full Breakdown
Chapter 111 covers anyone selling door to door or place to place in Rose Hill. 01 defines a PEDDLER as someone who transports and sells goods from place to place, or who sells from any vehicle or device without traveling, and specifically catches anyone who splits the sale and delivery just to dodge the chapter. A SOLICITOR is defined as anyone traveling place to place taking or offering to take orders for future delivery of goods or future personal services, whether or not samples are shown or money is collected up front, including someone who occupies a building solely to take such orders.
A TRANSIENT VENDOR is anyone running a temporary selling-and-delivering business who uses or occupies a building or premises for it, and pairing up with an established local merchant doesn't excuse compliance. 02 requires every peddler, solicitor, or transient vendor to file a statement with the Town Clerk giving their name and address, their employer's name and address if they're an agent, credentials proving that relationship, a physical description, the goods or services being sold, how long they will operate in town, and a description of any vehicle used, including make, model, body style, color, and license number.
03 requires the Town Clerk to issue a numbered solicitor's badge dated and signed by the Clerk, and the person must wear it conspicuously on the front of their outer garment the entire time they are soliciting.
Violations & Fines
Failing to register under § 111.02 or to wear the required badge under § 111.03 carries no separately stated fine in this chapter, so it falls to the town's general penalty in § 10.99: a Class 3 misdemeanor punishable by a fine up to $50, imprisonment up to 30 days, or both, with each day of noncompliance treated as its own offense.
