Pompano Beach, Florida: door-to-door solicitor permit

Partly read: the permit answer is sourced, but the fee or the hours could not be read from the city’s own pages. The clerk questions below cover the gap.

• The answer: At least a city business tax receipt. The city's FY 2026 rates and fees schedule lists a "Solicitors" business tax receipt and defines a solicitor as anyone selling goods, wares or merchandise house to house or place to place for future delivery. The city code's Chapter 115 (Miscellaneous Businesses) also covers solicitors, but it could not be read on its host, so any separate permit, badge or background check is not confirmed here. Check with the city before knocking and use the City Clerk Call Sheet.
• Fee: Solicitors business tax receipt: $223.36 in both the FY 2025 and FY 2026 columns of the city's rates and fees schedule. The schedule notes that a business already holding a receipt under another category is excluded from this one. Any separate permit fee in the code was not read.
• Hours you may knock: Not read. Chapter 115 has a section on solicitors' hours of operation (115.15), but the code host blocked an automated reader, so the hours are not confirmed.
• Code: Pompano Beach Code of Ordinances, Chapter 115: Miscellaneous Businesses (American Legal), not readable here. Fee from the city's FY 2025 and FY 2026 Rates and Fees schedule.
• Read it yourself: City of Pompano Beach — Rates and Fees FY 2025 and FY 2026 (Business Tax Receipt Fees) · Pompano Beach Code Chapter 115 — Miscellaneous Businesses (American Legal, not read: bot wall) · checked 21 September 2026

Ask the clerk, and write the answer down:

• Does a door-to-door company need a solicitor permit under Chapter 115 on top of the $223.36 business tax receipt, and is it per rep?
• What hours door-to-door sales are allowed (115.15)
• Whether reps need a badge, background check or fingerprints, and how long that takes
