Solicitors, Canvassers & Peddlers

Parkville Municipal Code Chapter 610 allows personal contact with a Parkville resident at his/her residence or a Parkville business without prior specific invitation or appointment from the resident or business. Every person going door-to-door must adhere to the No Visit List.

Parkville Municipal Code Chapter 610

Solicitor-Peddler-Canvasser Application

The three categories are:

  • Peddler
    • Attempting to sell a good or service at the time of visit, but does not include a person who distributed flyers for purchase away from the residence or at a different time other than the visit.
    • $50 for 30 consecutive days
    • Permit required (requires background check from the MO Highway Patrol – see below)
  • Solicitor
    • Attempting to obtain a donation to a particular patriotic, philanthropic, social service, welfare, benevolent, educational, civic, fraternal, charitable, political or religious purpose
    • Distributing a handbill or flyer advertising a commercial event or service
    • $50 for 30 consecutive days
    • Permit required (requires background check from the MO Highway Patrol – see below)
  • Canvasser
    • Attempting to enlist support for or against a particular religion, philosophy, ideology, political party, issue or candidate, even if incidental to such purpose the canvasser accepts the donation of money for or against such cause
    • Distributing a handbill or flyer advertising a non-commercial event or service
    • No fee
    • No permit required, but must obtain No Visit List prior to canvassing activity

If you need help determining your category, contact the City Clerk at (816) 741-7676. All door-to-door marketing must be approved by the City before any visits can occur. Allow 2-3 business days for City staff to review the application prior to issuing the permit.

Background checks must be completed by the Missouri Highway Patrol prior to City approval. For more information call (573) 751-3313 or visit the Highway Patrol website. A copy of the City’s No Visit List will be provided to each applicant with their identification card.
