City Hall Reminds You Of A Law It Will NOT Enforce!
Posted: Sun Aug 18, 2013 2:47 pm
Here is a collection of the ordinances governing the typical door to door solicitor that may happen to be on the streets of Lakewood.
Note that if you call City Hall to complain about violations, City Hall will do absolutely nothing.
I have firsthand knowledge of the "We cannot enforce the law on the books" response on this issue.
But, here it is anyway.

Attached is a collection of the ordinances governing the typical door to door solicitor that may happen to be on the streets of Lakewood.
Permits are required for most solicitors and peddlers. Please take note of the definitions of these two terms.
There are restrictions as to when and where solicitors may operate. See 741.05
Certain groups are excepted from obtaining a permit. See 741.10. These groups are charitable, non-profit organizations and their workers should have some paperwork detailing this.
If there are ever any questions about the permit status of solicitors or peddlers, or problems or concerns with their behavior or overly aggressive or suspicious sales tactics, call the police. An officer will be sent out and if the person is located, they will be identified and their permit status verified.
