Moore, Oklahoma: door-to-door solicitor permit

• The answer: Yes — a city license for each person who will be soliciting, before any soliciting starts (9-702). A solicitor includes anyone taking commercial orders for goods or services provided or shipped to the customer at a later date (9-701).
• Where it comes from: The City of Moore, through the City Clerk's Solicitor/Itinerant & Charitable Vendors page. The written application goes to the licensing officer on the officer's form, during regular business hours (9-704).
• Fee: Each itinerant vendor, solicitor or peddler license is $40 for 6 months or $75 for 1 year, per the fee schedule appended to the city code (9-703). A bond of $500 per solicitor is also listed in the code's bond schedule (9-706).
• Hours you may knock: No soliciting house to house in residential areas between 8:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. (9-710).
• What the rep carries: A city-issued badge, tag or card, posted in a conspicuous place on the licensee, showing the licensee's name and the license expiration date (9-709).
• What takes the time: The application is investigated for truthfulness within ten business days after the application and fee are deposited; the license issues on payment of the fee and filing of the bond (9-705). The bond runs to the city, is approved by the city attorney, and is secured by two sureties (9-706). The application can ask for a state sales tax permit number and vehicle and insurance details (9-704).
• Code: Moore Municipal Code, Part 9, Chapter 9-7 — Itinerant Vendors and Charitable Solicitations, Article 9-7A — Itinerant Vendors (9-701 to 9-713), plus the code's Schedule of Fees and Charges and Appendix 2 — Bond Schedule. The online code carries no current-through date; it says it may not reflect the most current legislation.
• Worth knowing: Newspaper sales, bona fide auctions and a few others are exempt (9-711); door-to-door service sales are not on that list. Someone claiming an interstate-commerce exemption from the license fees must prove it to the city (9-711). The code's fine schedule lists "Soliciting w/o Permit" under 9-702.

Ask the clerk, and write the answer down:

• Whether the $500 bond is required for every solicitor on a fiber or other service team, or only for itinerant vendors selling goods
• Whether the Solicitor/Itinerant Vendor application is open, since the city's page shows a form closed to new submissions
• How long it takes after the ten-business-day investigation to receive the license and badge
