If you plan to engage in door-to-door sales in the City of Rohnert Park, you'll need a solicitors permit. This permit is essential for anyone intending to solicit or peddle within the city limits. Here are the steps you need to follow:
Business License: All applicants need a Business License from Rohnert Park before getting a solicitors/peddlers permit.
LiveScan: All solicitors must complete a LiveScan. Call 584-2600 to schedule an appointment.
Application: Fill out the required application and return it to the Department of Public Safety with a copy of the Business License application and a clear copy of the driver’s license. Incomplete applications will not be accepted and will be returned.
ID Permit: Once notified by the California Department of Justice (LiveScan), the Department will contact the applicant to schedule an ID photo appointment. The ID Permit costs $88.00 and is valid for one year from the date of issue.
Before issuing the permit, applicants must sign a letter confirming they understand certain sections of the Rohnert Park Municipal Code related to peddling or soliciting. Copies of the signed letter and relevant code sections will be given to the solicitor.
ID Permits must be visible when soliciting, and solicitors should carry their signed acknowledgement
