FULTONDALE, Alabama --- Solicitors or peddlers that knock on doors in Fultondale now have stringent regulations they must follow."The following practices very often become nuisances and therefore are of such public concern for the preservation of the privacy and safety of the citizens of the City of Fultondale that they must be regulated," according to an ordinance passed today that addresses peddlers, canvassers, solicitors and transient vendors.
The ordinance requires door-to-door solicitors to obtain a license from Fultondale, costing $10 per day or $30 per week.
The ordinance also bans soliciting before 8 a.m. or after 8 p.m.
Residents can further prohibit any solicitation by posting signs that state "No Solicitation" or "No Trespassing."
The ordinance has other regulations, such as stating that no solicitor shall continue repeated soliciting and shall immediately and peacefully leave the premises after the occupant has declined solicitation.
