Loveland, Colorado: door-to-door solicitor permit

• The answer: No city solicitor or peddler permit appears in the code. Chapter 5.12 — Vendors and Peddlers — has only three sections: a ban on soliciting where a "No Solicitation" or "No Trespassing" sign is posted (5.12.010), a ban on getting an invitation to a home by a false or deceptive statement (5.12.020), and a council permit for selling on streets, sidewalks and other public property (5.12.030). Neither Title 5 — Business Licenses and Regulations nor Title 8 — Local Licensing Code has a license for door-to-door sales.
• Where it comes from: No office issues a door-to-door permit under the code.
• Fee: The code sets no solicitor fee because it sets no solicitor permit.
• Hours you may knock: The code sets no knocking hours for door-to-door sales.
• What the rep carries: The code sets no badge or permit rule for door-to-door reps.
• What takes the time: Nothing in the code to wait on for a door-to-door permit.
• Code: Loveland Municipal Code, Title 5, Chapter 5.12 — Vendors and Peddlers (5.12.010 to 5.12.030), last amended by Ord. 5946 (2015). Municode shows the code codified through Ordinance No. 6804, enacted December 16, 2025 (Supp. No. 13).
• Worth knowing: The sign rule covers every kind of solicitation, including religious, charitable, school and civic groups, and any sign "of similar import" counts (5.12.010). Separately, a city sales tax license is required for anyone in the business of selling taxable goods or services at retail in the city (3.16.060); the code does not say how that applies to a door-to-door company.
