Bend, Oregon: door-to-door solicitor permit

Partly read: the permit answer is sourced, but the fee or the hours could not be read from the city’s own pages. The clerk questions below cover the gap.

• The answer: At least a city business registration for the company. The city's registration page says it covers any business that conducts business activities in the Bend city limits, whether or not it has a physical location in the city. Whether Bend also has a separate door-to-door solicitor permit could not be read: the Bend Code host blocked our reader. Use the City Clerk Call Sheet before knocking.
• Where it comes from: City of Bend business registration, applied for online through the city's Permit Center portal. The page links the Business Registration Ordinance in Bend Code Chapter 7.05.
• Fee: Business registration: Initial Application Fee $121.00; Annual Renewal Application Fee $94.00, per the city's registration page. Any solicitor-specific fee could not be read.
• Hours you may knock: Not read — the Bend Code could not be opened.
• Code: Bend Code, Chapter 7.05 — Business Registration (not read back; the code host blocked our reader).
• Read it yourself: City of Bend — Register a Business in Bend · Bend Code, Chapter 7.05 — Business Registration · checked 21 September 2026

Ask the clerk, and write the answer down:

• Whether Bend requires a door-to-door solicitor or peddler permit on top of business registration, and whether it is per rep
• The hours reps may knock, and any no-soliciting sign rule
• Whether commission reps working for a registered company need their own registration
