City of Rocky River Solicitor Information: 1-29-2025
City Hall has recently received calls from residents expressing concerns about solicitors coming to their residents. This notice will clarify the City’s policy on the process. Solicitors must carry their permit, and you may ask them to show it to you. If you have any questions or concerns about a solicitor, please call the Rocky River Police at their non-emergency number: 440-331-1234.
Rocky River Codified Ordinances requires solicitors to apply for a license from the Department of Public Safety Service. All solicitors must provide a copy of a current driver’s license for review by the Rocky River Police Department and pay applicable fees before a permit is issued. Once approved, solicitation is permitted Monday through Saturday between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. There is no solicitation on Sundays and holidays. Solicitors must honor No Solicitation stickers when they appear near the doors of our residents as noted in Section 279.07, entitled “Resident Prohibition by Notice”. This no solicitation applies to leaving flyers at residences also. Solicitors are instructed to use front doors only and never enter side or back yards.
Political solicitors are not required to register with the City of Rocky River.
No Solicitation decals are available at City Hall, or you may call 440-331-0600 or email btaylor@rrcity.com to have one mailed to your residence.
