Shakopee, Savage, and Prior Lake require commercial door-to-door solicitors to obtain a city permit, with background checks and limited hours. Statewide, Minnesota gives buyers three days to cancel a home sale.
Cities in Scott County regulate commercial door-to-door solicitors and peddlers through municipal permits, generally requiring registration, a background check, a visible ID badge, and limited canvassing hours. Religious and political canvassing is protected by the First Amendment and is generally exempt from permit requirements. Statewide consumer law backs residents up: under MN Stat. §325G.07, a buyer in a home solicitation sale of more than $25 may cancel until midnight of the third business day after the sale, and the seller must provide a written notice of cancellation form. A seller who omits that notice extends the cancellation window.
Soliciting without the required city permit draws a municipal citation. A seller who denies the statutory three-day cancellation right faces rescission of the sale and Minnesota consumer-protection enforcement by the Attorney General.
