Roseville, California: 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: Yes — a City of Roseville business license carrying the door-to-door solicitation special condition, plus a door-to-door solicitor's permit from the Police Department, before soliciting (10.36.010).
• Where it comes from: The Police Department issues the solicitor's permit; a representative applies in person with the business license, the permit application and photo ID for every employee who will solicit (city Door-to-Door Solicitation permit page).
• Fee: $50 for the initial Solicitor Permit application ($30 to renew), plus a $32 Department of Justice fee and, if applicable, a $17 FBI fingerprinting fee, per the city's User and Regulatory Fee Study effective July 1, 2026.
• Hours you may knock: Not published. Municipal Code Chapter 10.36 (Soliciting) sets no clock-hour restriction on when a solicitor may knock.
• What the rep carries: A copy of the validated registration application and photograph identification, displayed immediately to any solicitee or Roseville police officer on request (10.36.020(B)).
• What takes the time: LiveScan fingerprinting and a Department of Justice background check, per the city's fee study; the code itself sets no processing timeline.
• Code: Roseville Municipal Code, Chapter 10.36, Soliciting (§§ 10.36.010–10.36.030).
• Worth knowing: It is unlawful to solicit, peddle or hawk at any house posted with a clearly visible sign prohibiting solicitation or peddling — a sign prohibiting either is read to prohibit both (10.36.030).
