Not readable yet: the city’s rules could not be read from a primary source on the date shown. Use the call sheet.

• The answer: Not published where we could read it. The city's business licensing pages say nothing about door-to-door sales, peddlers or solicitors, and the city's code host (codepublishing.com / municipal.codes, plus an eCode360 copy) blocked us on 21 September 2026. Call the city before knocking — use the City Clerk Call Sheet.
• Where it comes from: Not published for door-to-door sales. The city's licensing page lists a business licensing contact at 509-720-5333.
• Fee: No door-to-door permit fee is published on the city's site. The general city business license, which the city says is required to conduct business in Spokane Valley, is $25.00 to originate and $25.00 to renew, through the state Business Licensing Service.
• Hours you may knock: Not published on the city's site; the code could not be read. Ask the city.
• Code: Spokane Valley Municipal Code, hosted on codepublishing.com (municipal.codes). Title 5 (business licenses, 5.05) is cited by the city's licensing page. No section on door-to-door sales was read.
• Worth knowing: The city says a Washington state business license, renewed annually, is required to conduct business within the City of Spokane Valley (SVMC 5.05). A company based outside the city applies for a Non-Resident Business License through the Washington State Department of Revenue.
