Louisville
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 — a peddler license from Metro.
- Fee: Not in the code. The code lets the Director of Codes and Regulations set the fee schedule (115.351(E)) and says the fee goes in with the application (115.352(E)). The city’s Peddlers / Door to Door page, where a fee would be posted, blocked our browser, so the number was not read.
- Hours you may knock: 9:00 a.m. to one half hour before official sunset. No peddling or soliciting at all on a Sunday or a state or national holiday (115.359(G)).
