Knock Knock: What to Know About Door-to-Door Soliciting in Arlington <\/p>\n

As the weather warms up, so does the number of door-to-door salespeople soliciting business in neighborhoods. While door-to-door sales are allowed in the City of Arlington, salespeople must follow strict guidelines to ensure compliance with city ordinances.<\/p>\n


\nDoor-to-door sales are prohibited before 9 a.m. and after dusk\/sunset, unless there is a prior invitation from an occupant of a private residence. <\/p>\n


\nDoor-to-door salespeople are not allowed to ring doorbells\/knock on doors where a \u201cNo Soliciting\u201d sign is posted. * For residents: No Soliciting or No Solicitation signs must be no less than 12 square inches in size and sign lettering should be no less than two-thirds of an inch in height. <\/p>\n

Any violations of the rules by salespeople can result in fines of up to $500, as well as the suspension or revocation of their door-to-door license. Residents who wish to report violations can do so by contacting the Arlington Police Department\u2019s non-emergency line at (817) 274-4444.<\/p>\n

APD encourages residents to watch out for red flags and to make smart, safe decisions if a door-to-door salesperson comes to their home.<\/p>\n


\nIf a salesperson comes to your door and you don\u2019t feel comfortable speaking with them, then don\u2019t. You do not have to answer the door. You can also tell them through the door that you\u2019re not interested in what they\u2019re selling. <\/p>\n


\nIf you\u2019re unsure whether a salesperson is legitimate, ask to see their city license and \/ or other identification verifying they are employed by the company they claim to work for. If they don\u2019t have a license or ID, don\u2019t give them any money and ask them to leave. <\/p>\n


\nNEVER let a salesperson you don\u2019t know or that you did not solicit yourself enter your home. <\/p>\n


\nRemember, you can ask a salesperson to leave your home at any time. If a salesperson refuses to leave after being asked or becomes irate, shut the door. If they still don\u2019t leave, call 911. <\/p>\n


\nNever feel guilted into giving a salesperson money or buying their product \/ service. If a salesperson aggressively pressures you into giving them money, that could be a sign of a scam. End the conversation and ask them to leave. <\/p>\n

Always listen to your gut and don\u2019t do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable. Residents can always call 911 or APD\u2019s non-emergency line for assistance.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
