Senoia regulates door-to-door solicitors and peddlers under its Code of Ordinances (administered through Municode). Commercial solicitors must obtain a permit from the City of Senoia before going door-to-door. The City honors 'No Soliciting' signs on private property and Senoia Police enforce the ordinance. Religious, political, and charitable solicitors retain First Amendment protections.
The City of Senoia Code of Ordinances regulates transient merchants, peddlers, and solicitors — similar in structure to other Georgia municipalities like Peachtree City and Savannah. Commercial solicitors must apply for a permit through the City and submit identification and a background check. Solicitation is typically restricted to daytime hours (commonly 9 a.m. to sunset). The Ordinance of 07-01-2019 amended the Code further; Senoia Code Enforcement and the Senoia Police Department share enforcement. 'No Soliciting' signs on private property are honored, and ignoring them can trigger trespass charges under O.C.G.A. §16-7-21 (Criminal Trespass).
Commercial soliciting without a Senoia permit is a code violation enforced via municipal citation. Refusing to leave after a 'No Soliciting' sign or homeowner request can be charged as criminal trespass (O.C.G.A. §16-7-21), a misdemeanor.
