Lewisville, Texas: door-to-door solicitor permit

• The answer: Yes — a permit per company (with a per-additional-person add-on), issued by the department of community development, before anyone "peddles" or "solicits" door to door (§ 7-26, § 7-27).
• Where it comes from: City of Lewisville Department of Community Development; applications go through MGO Connect.
• Fee: A base fee of 40.00, plus 10.00 for each additional person, per the city's fee schedule (listed there without a dollar sign, but in the same dollar-amount column as every other fee on the page). The code itself just says a fee "set out in section 2-201" (now the separately published fee schedule) is due for each solicitor or peddler, plus a fee for each agent or employee (§ 7-30).
• Hours you may knock: Sunset to 8:00 a.m. is off-limits — no entering property, knocking or otherwise disturbing residents in that window, licensed or not (§ 7-37).
• What the rep carries: The permit, to be exhibited on request to a prospective customer, city employee or police officer (§ 7-34). A sponsor of under-18 sellers must also give each seller a visible badge or ID naming the sponsor and the individual (§ 7-28(d)).
• What takes the time: The permit is good for six months from issuance (§ 7-33; also stated as "valid for six months" on the fee schedule).
• Code: Lewisville Code of Ordinances, Chapter 7, Article II — Itinerant Merchants (§ 7-26 through § 7-42).
• Worth knowing: It is unlawful to enter premises posted "No Peddlers," "No Solicitors," or similar words at the entry (§ 7-36). A permit can be denied for a year after an earlier denial unless the applicant shows the reason no longer applies (§ 7-32(a)(4)).

Ask the clerk, and write the answer down: Whether the $40 base fee applies once per company visit or must be repaid every six months per crew; Whether a state sales-and-use tax permit number is required on the application for every rep or just the company (§ 7-29(f)).
