Solicitation Permit Holders

Aside from a few exemptions, it is illegal to peddle, sell, or solicit goods or services without having a permit from the City of Forney. Every solicitor shall display his or her permit upon request of any person, and failure to so display such permit shall be grounds for revocation and/or constitute a violation of the ordinance. Failure to abide by this ordinance can subject an individual to a fine-only misdemeanor. Residents are encouraged to report violators to Forney PD at 972.564.7600. To discourage solicitors, residents can display a “no soliciting sign” on their property.

The exemptions to this ordinance as mentioned above include sales people licensed by the state such as realtors and insurance salesman, daily deliveries of food and newspapers, bona fide charitable organizations, political and religious canvassing, or the placement of handbills where no in-person communication is sought.
