DOOR TO DOOR SALES
The following are guidelines for persons going door to door to sell a product in Cobb County. A permit is not required to communicate to
the resident for religious, charitable or political purposes. These guidelines are not the Code of Ordinance nor should they be substituted for
the Code of Ordinance.
1. All individuals going door to door selling products in residential areas in Cobb County must register and obtain the appropriate
badge through the Cobb County Business License Division.
2. Each person going door to door in residential areas selling products must possess a picture identification badge issued by the Cobb
County Business License Division prior to soliciting in the county. Completion of the door to door sale permit application and
payment of the prescribed fee and issuance of a receipt does not authorize the applicant to operate in Cobb County. Only the
issuance of a door to door sales permit badge by the Cobb County Business License Division authorizes the individual to go door
to door in unincorporated areas of Cobb County.
3. All applicants requiring badges issued by the County shall provide two 1 1/4 x 1 1/4 pictures with the application that will be
utilized for identification purposes to ensure the appropriate individual is authorized to go door to door in Cobb County.
4. The badge shall be worn by the individual going door to door in a conspicuous place that can be seen by the home occupant. Any
other unapproved type of identification cannot be substituted for the Cobb County Door to Door Salesperson Badge. All badges
will have a picture of the applicant, name of the organization represented, address of the organization, name of the applicant,
phone number of the organization.
5. A door to door sales permit does not authorize the sale of the product in the right of way of any road or highway or in commercial
areas.
6. Any alteration, duplication or misrepresentation of the Cobb County door to door badge shall subject the individual and/or
company that the individual represents, to penalties as provided by law.
7. The permit is valid for ninety days.
8. No persons may contact citizens door to door before 9:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m. No door to door salesperson shall contact
persons or residents where the residence has posted “No Soliciting ”or in a neighborhood/subdivision on private roads/streets and
a “No Soliciting” sign is posted.

criminal prosecution and/or suspension and/or revocation of the door to door salesperson permit.
