Columbus, OH may regulate commercial door-to-door peddling under Verify local peddler/solicitation ordinance. Document exact times, signs, and what was said when you ask someone to leave.
Licensing
Each salesperson may need an individual local peddler or solicitation license. Ask to see it and document the response.
What to document
- Exact date and time (doorbell camera timestamps help)
- Whether a no-soliciting sign was visible
- Exact words you used to tell them to leave
- What they did after you told them to leave
- Whether you asked for a peddler license and their response
- Original video/photo — do not edit before preserving
A no-soliciting sign alone does not automatically prove criminal trespass. Document the exact
instruction to leave and what happened afterward.
