Henderson, Nevada: door-to-door solicitor permit

• The answer: Yes. A door-to-door solicitor or peddler license, per person. Every natural person 18 or older needs one before peddling or soliciting, and each rep files in person (4.12.020, 4.12.040).
• Where it comes from: Henderson Municipal Code Chapter 4.12, Door-to-Door Solicitors, Peddlers and Canvassers. The license is issued by "the division," which the code defines as the business operations division of the finance department (4.04.010).
• Fee: $25.00 per rep, paid when the application is filed, and the general application fee is waived (4.12.030). The fee schedule puts it at $25.00 semiannually for each door-to-door solicitor or peddler (4.05.237).
• Hours you may knock: No knocking between 9:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. (4.12.110). The rule covers canvassers, peddlers and solicitors alike.
• What the rep carries: The license, in the rep's possession at all times while working, shown on request to any prospective customer, business license officer or police officer (4.12.070). The code does not mention a badge.
• What takes the time: Not much. An in-person application with proof of age, address and ID, a ten-year conviction statement and one 2x2 passport photo (4.12.040). The code requires the license to be issued within three business days of hand-delivery of a complete application, and if the city misses the deadline the license is deemed granted (4.12.050). No fingerprinting or bond is in the chapter.
• Code: Henderson Municipal Code 4.12.010 to 4.12.150 (Ord. No. 3067, 9-17-2013) and 4.05.237 (Ord. No. 3291, 10-6-2015). Municode shows the online version as "Sep 15, 2026 (current)."
• Worth knowing: A posted "No Solicitors," "No Peddlers," "No Canvassers" or "No Trespassers" sign bars knocking, and one sign at the entrance of an apartment complex or gated community covers every home inside (4.12.100). Whoever employs or contracts the rep is responsible for the rep's violations, and not knowing about them is no defense (4.12.090). A felony or gross misdemeanor conviction in the past ten years is grounds for denial (4.12.060). Flyers must be fastened to the door so they do not blow away (4.12.130).
