The City of Sunrise requires commercial door-to-door solicitors to register under city Code Sec. 7-267, providing identifying information and obtaining a permit. Religious, political, and charitable canvassing is constitutionally protected and exempt.
Door-to-door commercial sales in Sunrise are regulated under Chapter 7, Article VII of the city code. Section 7-267 requires peddlers, solicitors, and itinerant merchants to register with the city, submit identifying information, and obtain a permit before canvassing; solicitors are expected to carry identification while working. Permitted hours are limited to daytime and early evening. Charitable, religious, and political canvassers generally cannot be required to obtain a commercial permit, because door-to-door advocacy is protected First Amendment speech, though a charity may register separately. Community Enhancement and Code Compliance administers enforcement.
Soliciting without the required §7-267 registration lets Sunrise Code Compliance order the seller to stop, issue a citation, and bar future permits. Canvassing outside allowed hours draws a fine.
