Fort Mitchell is revamping their process regulating door-to-door solicitors.
Residents can contact the city to be placed on the “No Knock” list, which registered solicitors within the city are expected to respect.
“We’re not targeting the kid down the street who wants to cut your grass,” Fort Mitchell Mayor Jude Hehman said. “We’re worried about the private companies that come to your door trying to sell you something. Solicitors should be registered and safe.”
Fort Mitchell had a recent complaint about a salesperson knocking on a resident’s door at 9:30 p.m.
Through the existing ordinance and the new and improved solicitation program, private companies must register with the city before going door to door. If the city accepts their application, they’ll receive rules, including time parameters. Solicitors can be penalized for breaking those rules.
Everyone who wants to be on this list, even if you signed up recently, needs to contact the city of Fort Mitchell to verify their address. Residents also have the opportunity to buy an official “No Solicitors” sign with the city seal on it for $10. Purchasing the sign does not automatically enroll a resident in the ‘No Solicitors’ list.
