§ 15.2-913. Ordinances regulating certain vendors
A. Any locality may by ordinance provide for the regulation of persons not
otherwise licensed by the Commonwealth under Title 38.2, offering any item
for sale within the locality when such persons go from one place of human
habitation to another offering an item, other than newspapers and fresh farm
products, for sale. The purpose of such ordinance is to reasonably control
the activities of door-to-door vendors for the safety and well-being of the
people residing in the locality. However, the locality may in such ordinance
exempt such activities when they are conducted on behalf of a nonprofit
charitable, civic or religious organization and may provide for other
reasonable exemptions in such ordinance.
B. Any locality adopting an ordinance under this section may collect a fee in
an amount not to exceed twenty dollars, from each person granted a permit to
sell door to door.
