| Home solicitation or cooling-off | ORS 83.710 defines a home solicitation sale as a sale, lease, or rental of goods or services that the seller personally solicits, including after an invitation by the buyer, when the buyer's written agreement is made somewhere other than the seller's place of business. That place includes the buyer's residence. ORS 83.720 lets the buyer cancel until 12 midnight of the third business day after the buyer signs an agreement that complies with ORS 83.710 to 83.750, or pays by cash or check. A cash or check sale under $25 is outside the home solicitation rules. | https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/bills_laws/ors/ors083.html |
| In-person recording consent | ORS 165.540(1)(c) says a person may not obtain a conversation by a device if not all participants in the conversation are specifically informed that their conversation is being obtained. That is the in-person all-party notice rule. A separate clause covers a telecommunication the recorder is not part of, and it uses consent of at least one participant. | https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/bills_laws/ors/ors165.html |
| Employee monitoring notice | ORS 83.710 and ORS 165.540 do not set out a separate employee electronic monitoring notice. The in-person recording rule on this page is ORS 165.540. | https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/bills_laws/ors/ors165.html |
| State solicitor or peddler license | The Oregon Secretary of State says the state does not have a general business license. ORS 83.710 to 83.750 is a cancel rule, not a statewide solicitor card. Cities and counties may still require a local license. | https://sos.oregon.gov/business/information-center/pages/check-state-license-requirements.aspx |
The city
The permit changes when the crew crosses a city line
Door to door solicitation laws oregon are that city split. Portland's business license is a tax, not a regulatory permit. Eugene says there is no registration and still quotes an identification card rule. A solicitor permit oregon is whichever of those desks the city actually prints.
| City | Permit office | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Portland | Revenue Division business license tax. City Code 7.02.010 says the license used in the Business License Law does not mean a permit and is not regulatory. The revenue page does not publish a separate solicitor permit. | https://www.portland.gov/code/7/02 |
| Salem | Permit Application Center licenses page. It says a business license is required for certain types of businesses and lists licenses such as a mobile food unit and a vehicle for hire. It does not list a solicitor permit. | https://www.cityofsalem.net/business/business-resources/licenses |
| Eugene | The city solicitor tips page says there are no registration requirements for door-to-door solicitors. A city news item quotes Eugene Code 3.845, which requires a commercial solicitor to carry an identification card and to put each order in writing for the buyer. | https://www.eugene-or.gov/DocumentCenter/View/2610/Door-to-Door-Solicitor-Tips?bidId= |
| Gresham | Business licenses at City Hall. The page covers a commercial business in Gresham and a business located outside Gresham that conducts business in the city. It does not publish a separate solicitor permit form. | https://www.greshamoregon.gov/business-licenses |
| Hillsboro | Finance business licenses. The page says any person, business, or organization conducting business inside the city limits must obtain a business license, and it points to 5.04.02. The forms page lists a business license application and a mobile business application, not a separate solicitor form. | https://www.hillsboro-oregon.gov/business/business-licenses |
The list
No address registry on these city pages, and no general sales tax
The five city pages above do not publish a no-knock address list. Oregon also does not impose a general sales tax on the merchandise sold at the door.
| Fact | Finding | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Known no-knock registries | The Portland, Salem, Eugene, Gresham, and Hillsboro pages used in the city table do not publish a no-knock address registry. | https://www.portland.gov/revenue/business-tax |
| Sales tax for in-home sales | The Oregon Department of Revenue says Oregon does not have a general sales or use/transaction tax. The same page says Oregon does have a vehicle use tax for a qualifying new vehicle. | https://www.oregon.gov/dor/programs/businesses/pages/sales-tax.aspx |
The pin
ORS 83.720 does not write Not Home
The cancel form and the city license still leave the door blank until someone logs it. Draw the territory, cut the turf, and log the visit on the pin, including Not Home. Do Not Contact stays off the knock list and off coverage. Recording is opt-in: the consent step comes first, and skip logs the outcome with no file. The score does not replace the outcome. Onboarding does not block knocks. Import and export are the only ways a lead list moves.
