Door-to-Door Solicitors

The City regulates solicitation under Lenexa City Code Chapter 3-10.

Commercial door-to-door solicitors are people who approach a person or building to:

  • sell or offer for sale, attempt to take orders for the sale of goods or services, or propose a commercial transaction

Commercial door-to-door solicitors must follow certain restrictions including but not limited to the following:

  • Only solicit between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m.
  • Only at the main entrance of your home
