North Las Vegas

  • Permit: Yes. A permit and a license, per person.
  • Fee: The code has two fee provisions. The general schedule says: "Solicitor. For each solicitor, two hundred dollars ($200.00) annually" (5.02.270). Chapter 5.48 sets a semi-annual fee by gross sales, from one hundred dollars ($100.00) where semi-annual sales are four thousand dollars ($4,000.00) or less up to two thousand dollars ($2,000.00) semi-annually, paid for each person soliciting (5.48.050). Arithmetic: $100.00 x 2 = $200.00 a year at the lowest tier. Add a police investigation fee of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) per applicant (5.48.050(C)). Ask which schedule the city bills.
  • Hours you may knock: Not published. Chapter 5.48 sets no knocking hours.
