Solicitation Laws
The Plain City Village Council and Police Department have collaborated to update and strengthen solicitation laws. Any person who wishes to engage in commercial door-to-door solicitation or mobile vending must apply for and be issued a solicitor’s permit by the Police Department. There is an application fee of $50, which is non-refundable/non-transferrable. Solicitation is permitted only from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Monday through Saturday, excluding federal holidays. This ordinance also creates a No Knock Registry that enables residents to register their addresses annually to reduce unwanted solicitations. Solicitors must download the current No Knock List prior to the start of each business day and are prohibited from contacting anyone on that list. Applications, Issued Permits, the No Knock Registry/List, and the Solicitor's Ordinance can be found by visiting the Forms page.
Personal Inventory Service
