Stafford requires door-to-door peddlers and solicitors to obtain a city permit, pay a fee, and carry identification while soliciting in the city.
Under Stafford's Code of Ordinances governing itinerant vendors, peddlers, and solicitors, anyone selling goods or services door-to-door must apply for a Solicitor Permit through the City Secretary. The application includes a non-refundable fee of approximately $25.00 per solicitor, identifying information, employer details, and background screening. Approved solicitors must carry the city-issued permit and present it on demand. Charitable, religious, and political canvassing may have separate or limited requirements consistent with constitutional protections.
Soliciting in Stafford without a valid permit, misrepresenting the purpose of the visit, or refusing to display identification can result in citations, fines, and revocation of permits.
