With the warmer weather brings vendors out into the neighborhoods soliciting business. A few reminders about door-to-door sales people within the City of Columbus.
All door-to-door salespeople within the City of Columbus should have a license. Below are images of the 2024 versions.
These badges should be on display when vendors approach your home. When residents are approached by an unlicensed door-to-door sales person, they may call the police non-emergency number, in the moment, as police may be dispatched when available.
The License Section also shared new, preferred reporting methods for unlicensed door-to-door salespeople. Complaints should be sent to [email protected], and residents may also call in concerns to 614-645-6496 and leave a message, should no one pick up.
Information that would be beneficial to the License Section is the location of either an intersection or at least the name of the neighborhood, what company the individual says they are with, and the time of day of the incident.
