Canton, Ohio: 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: Not confirmed. The city's License & Permits list includes "Solicitation" with no ordinance section, "Registration" where the fee goes, and a 6-month renewal — so the city runs some solicitation registration. The code text that says who must register could not be read: the city's code host blocked automated reading. For the full list of questions, use the City Clerk Call Sheet.
• Where it comes from: Not stated on the list. The Canton Police Department's Records office says its clerks accept applications for various licenses needed throughout the city; whether that includes the solicitation registration is not stated.
• Fee: The city's License & Permits list shows no dollar figure for Solicitation — the fee column reads "Registration". A separate Itinerant Retailer license (Chapter 749) is listed at $150, annual from date of issue; whether it applies to door-to-door sales could not be read.
• Hours you may knock: Not read. The code was blocked, and the city's license list does not give hours. Chapter 749 has a section on hours of sale for itinerant retailers, but its text was not read.
• What the rep carries: Not read. The code was blocked.
• What takes the time: Not read. The list says the solicitation registration renews every 6 months.
• Code: Codified Ordinances of the City of Canton, Ohio, hosted on American Legal Publishing; Chapter 749 — Itinerant Retailers is one chapter that may apply. The city's own list gives no ordinance section for Solicitation. Section text and currency were not read.

Ask the clerk, and write the answer down:

• Whether a door-to-door rep taking orders for a service (such as fiber internet) must register, which office takes the registration, and whether it is per rep or per company
• Whether the solicitation registration carries any fee, and whether the $150 Itinerant Retailer license also applies to door-to-door sales
• What hours door-to-door sales are allowed, and the code section
• Whether a background check, fingerprints or an ID badge are required, and how long registration takes
