Door to door sales laws Mississippi for a narrow chapter and a thin city layer
Knockdesk is field sales software for teams that sell in person. People looking up door to door sales laws mississippi find a real chapter that is narrow, and a city layer that is thin. Miss. Code 75-66-1 defines a home solicitation sale as a consumer credit sale personally solicited at the buyer's residence, so a cash sale is outside that definition on the page that opened. A solicitor permit mississippi is not one state card. This page is general information, not legal advice. The table is the statute map, not a ruling.

| Home solicitation or cooling-off | Miss. Code 75-66-1 limits a home solicitation sale to a consumer credit sale of goods or services, personally solicited at the buyer's residence, where the buyer agrees there. Consumer credit sale, on that page, means credit by a seller who regularly extends that kind of credit, to a person rather than an organization, for a personal, family, or household purpose, payable in installments or with a credit service charge. Miss. Code 75-66-3 lets the buyer cancel until midnight of the third business day after signing an agreement that complies with the chapter, unless the emergency exception applies. | https://codes.findlaw.com/ms/title-75-regulation-of-trade-commerce-and-investments/ms-code-sect-75-66-3/ |
| In-person recording consent | Miss. Code 41-29-531(e) says the interception article does not apply to a person not acting under color of law who intercepts a wire, oral, or other communication if that person is a party, or if one party has given prior consent, unless the purpose is a criminal or tortious act or any other injurious act. | https://law.justia.com/codes/mississippi/title-41/chapter-29/article-7/section-41-29-531/ |
| State solicitor card | Chapter 75-66 defines the consumer credit home solicitation sale and the cancel window. The sections that opened do not issue a solicitor card. The city pages are uneven, and several of them are thin. | https://codes.findlaw.com/ms/title-75-regulation-of-trade-commerce-and-investments/ms-code-sect-75-66-1/ |
The city
The city layer is thin outside Biloxi
Door to door solicitation laws mississippi do not line up from city to city. Biloxi requires a license before a person peddles or solicits and states a fee and a bond. Gulfport publishes a mobile, peddler, and solicitor application and does not state the rules on that list. Southaven's opened form is a transient business license that cites Miss. Code 75-85, not a house-to-house card. Hattiesburg's chapter 17 is a transient vendor license that also cites Miss. Code 75-85. Jackson's business license page is a privilege license and does not describe a separate solicitor card.
| City | Permit office | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Jackson | The Business Licensing Division page is a privilege license, with the office at 200 S. President St., Jackson, MS 39201. It does not describe a separate house-to-house solicitor card. The code library lists Chapter 94, Peddlers and Solicitors. That license page does not restate the chapter. | https://jacksonms.gov/business/business-licenses/ |
| Gulfport | Building Code Services publishes a Mobile/Peddler/Solicitor Privilege Tax License Application. The list page does not state a fee, hours, or a house-to-house rule. | https://www.gulfport-ms.gov/departments/urban_development/building_code_services/ |
| Southaven | The opened form is an application for a privilege license to operate a transient business. It cites Miss. Code 75-85 and asks for a property owner permit. It reads as a located temporary sale, and it does not describe a house-to-house solicitor card. | https://southaven.org/DocumentCenter/View/5271/Transient-Vendor |
| Hattiesburg | Chapter 17 is a transient vendor license. The text cites Miss. Code 75-85, sets a $250 fee, and sets a $25 fee when the applicant is a licensed business in the city with a Mississippi sales tax number. The opened text does not define a house-to-house solicitor card. | https://www.hattiesburgms.com/wp-content/uploads/chapter17.pdf |
| Biloxi | The ordinance says a peddler or solicitor applies for and holds a license before that activity in the city. Section 13-1-18 sets a $25 license fee and requires a solicitor to furnish a $1,000 bond. | https://mcclibraryfunctions.azurewebsites.us/api/ordinanceDownload/10442/859244/pdf |
The list
No address list on these city pages
The five city pages opened here do not publish a no-knock address list. That gap is part of how thin the city layer is. Sales tax is a separate permit on tangible personal property.
| Fact | Finding | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Known no-knock registries | The Jackson, Gulfport, Southaven, Hattiesburg, and Biloxi pages opened here do not publish a no-knock address list a crew can download. | https://jacksonms.gov/business/business-licenses/ |
| Sales tax for in-home sales | The Department of Revenue says all sales of tangible personal property in Mississippi are subject to the regular retail rate of 7% unless the law exempts the item or provides a reduced rate. A permit or registration license is required before a business subject to sales tax begins, with a separate permit for each location. | https://www.dor.ms.gov/business/sales-use-tax/mississippi-sales-and-use-taxes |
The pin
A thin city card still needs the visit logged
Biloxi can ask for the bond. Gulfport can hand over a form with no hours on the list page. The territory still needs an outcome. Knockdesk logs the visit at 11 River Rd and 5 Oak Ave, including Not Home. Do Not Contact takes the address off the knock list and off coverage. Consent is the step before a recording file, and skip still logs the outcome. A score does not replace the outcome. Setup does not hold the first knock. The turf file can come in, and the visit file can go out.
