Code
Ordinances and Enforcement
Recently, one of my neighbors was approached
by two different sales representatives for the same gutter guard company
within the same hour. Not only were the sales representatives duplicating
efforts, but their identification and company vans weren’t clearly
marked. Curious, my neighbor made a call to the Police and learned the
company had not obtained a proper permit for door-to-door sales. The
Police followed up with the company while they were still in the area.
Did you know there is a DeKalb County
ordinance for door-to-door sales? See
Municode.com and “Chapter 15 Licenses,
Permits and Miscellaneous Business Regulations” / “Article VII. Peddlers,
Door-to-Door Sales and Similar Occupations”
