Warner Robins, Georgia: door-to-door solicitor permit

• The answer: Yes — a solicitor permit from the city clerk's office before soliciting or taking orders for goods, wares or merchandise inside city limits. The fee is charged per solicitor, so plan on one permit per rep (10-125(a)).
• Where it comes from: The city clerk's office issues it, after the police department approves the application (10-125(a)).
• Fee: $10.00 for each solicitor (10-125(a)). A firm taking payment before the merchandise is delivered must also be bonded for $3,000.00 (10-125(c)).
• Hours you may knock: 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. (10-125(e)). No day-of-week or Sunday rule is written in the section.
• What the rep carries: The code does not say what the rep must carry or show. Two passport photos are filed with each application (10-125(a)).
• What takes the time: Police department approval of the application before the clerk will issue the permit, and two passport photos per applicant (10-125(a)). The firm must name a local supervisor, 21 or older, with a local address and phone number while the reps are working (10-125(c)). No processing time is published.
• Code: Warner Robins Code of Ordinances, Chapter 10, Article VI, Division 1 — Soliciting Generally (10-125), from Ord. No. 48-94 and Ord. No. 27-95. Municode shows the code codified through Ordinance No. 15-25, enacted May 19, 2025 (Supp. No. 69).
• Worth knowing: The permit can be revoked if good moral conduct is not displayed while soliciting (10-125(d)). Division 2 of the same article (10-126 to 10-132) covers panhandling and charitable or political solicitation, not commercial sales. A separate Peddlers article (10-195) covers sellers of fruits, vegetables and Christmas trees.
