Little Rock

Partly read: the permit answer is sourced, but the fee or the hours could not be read from the city’s own pages.

  • Permit: Yes. Commercial peddlers, hawkers and anyone selling or offering merchandise or services at retail door-to-door without a permanent place of business in the city must post a bond before starting, and pay the city's peddler license tax ( 17-127 , 17-52 ).
  • Fee: A surety bond of at least $500, plus a $5 fee paid to the city to execute it (17-127). Separately, the city's business tax schedule lists 75.00 (dollars) per peddler for peddlers on foot selling dry goods and merchandise (17-52).
  • Hours you may knock: Not published. The city's peddler/solicitor article (17-126 through 17-131) sets a bond, charitable-solicitation permits, and bans on soliciting along arterial streets or from street medians, but has no clock-time restriction for house-to-house commercial selling.
  • Checked: 19 September 2026
