(A) It shall be unlawful for any person to engage in the activity of residential door-to-door solicitation, selling, peddling, or solicitation within the city corporate limits, unless the person has a current registration on file with the city, has obtained a business license, and has paid the applicable business license fee.
(B) The registration shall be in a form approved by the Mayor, or designee. The Mayor, or designee, shall not accept the registration unless all of the required information is provided. Each form must include:

(3) What the person is selling, peddling, or soliciting;
(4) A statement of the anticipated period during which such sales, and solicitations, shall be conducted within the city, as a person must register each time he or she wishes to sell, or solicit, a separate type of good, or service;
(5) The legal name, address, telephone number, and agent for service of process of all persons engaging in door-to-door solicitation, selling, peddling, or soliciting, and the entity on whose behalf the person is engaging in door-to-door solicitation, selling, peddling, or soliciting; and
(6) A registration fee may be required, and can be set by the City Council by resolution, or ordinance, from time to time.
