Tulsa, Oklahoma: door-to-door solicitor permit

• The answer: No door-to-door solicitor permit was found in the Tulsa code. The city regulates the knock instead: its “Door to Door Solicitation” ordinance sets hours, a sign rule and a leave-when-asked rule, and creates no license (Title 27, Chapter 29). Title 21 (Licenses) has no chapter for solicitors or peddlers going house to house; its Outdoor Sellers license is for retail sales at a fixed outdoor location (Title 21, Section 2000 and 2008) and its Mobile Vendors chapter is food vending.
• Where it comes from: Nothing to pull for the door knock itself. City licenses in general are issued by the Director of Finance (Title 21, Section 103).
• Fee: None found. The Door to Door Solicitation chapter sets no fee and no license.
• Hours you may knock: 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. in residential zoning districts, unless the occupant gave a specific invitation or appointment. The rule covers anyone “taking orders for any goods, merchandise or services” (Title 27, Sections 2902 and 2903).
• What the rep carries: Nothing is required by the chapter. It has no badge or ID rule.
• What takes the time: Nothing at the city level: no application, background check or bond appears in Chapter 29.
• Code: Tulsa Revised Ordinances Title 27, Chapter 29, Sections 2900 to 2904 (Ord. No. 26660, 3-15-2012). Municode shows the version dated Aug 26, 2026 as current.
• Worth knowing: A posted sign such as “No Soliciting,” “No Solicitation,” “No Trespassing” or “Keep Out” makes the knock an offense, and so does staying after being asked to leave (Section 2903). The penalty is a fine of not more than $1,200.00 and/or up to six months in the City Jail (Section 2904).

Ask the clerk, and write the answer down: Does any city license apply to a company whose reps take orders door to door for a service? Does a company collecting Oklahoma sales tax need anything from the Director of Finance before reps knock? Does the 8-to-7 rule apply outside residential zoning districts?
