Home solicitation or cooling-off	W. Va. Code 46A-1-102 defines a home solicitation sale as a consumer credit sale in excess of $25 in which the seller or a person acting for the seller engages in a personal solicitation of the sale at a place other than the seller's fixed business establishment, and the buyer's agreement or offer is given there. W. Va. Code 46A-2-132 lets the buyer cancel until midnight of the third business day after signing the agreement or offer. A cash sale that never becomes that credit sale sits outside this definition and can still sit under the federal cooling-off rule when that rule covers the sale.	https://code.wvlegislature.gov/46A-2-132/
In-person recording consent	W. Va. Code 62-1D-3(e) makes it lawful to intercept a wire, oral, or electronic communication when the person is a party to the communication or one of the parties has given prior consent, unless the interception is for the purpose of committing a criminal or tortious act. Knockdesk still asks for consent before the file starts.	https://code.wvlegislature.gov/62-1D-3/
State solicitor or peddler license	The home solicitation sections in chapter 46A are a cancel and a definition. They are not a statewide solicitor badge. A solicitor permit West Virginia is the city license in the table.	https://code.wvlegislature.gov/46A-1-102/

The city

Door to door solicitation laws West Virginia change at the city line

Door to door solicitation laws West Virginia are the city split in the table. Huntington prices a hawker or peddler license. Morgantown publishes a commercial solicitors application. Charleston's published application is for soliciting funds. A solicitor permit West Virginia is the card that clerk or collector names. The manager still cannot see the turf if the card lives in a drawer and the visit lives in a chat.

Charleston	City Collector. The published application is a permit to solicit funds for a charitable campaign. A commercial home-solicitation card is a question for that collector before the crew knocks.	https://www.charlestonwv.gov/sites/default/files/documents/app_prmt_slct_fnds.pdf
Huntington	Hawker and peddler licenses. The code says a person who carries goods and sells them for delivery at the same time, or who solicits to render a service, is a hawker or peddler. The license fee on that article is $20.	https://library.municode.com/wv/huntington/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=CO_PTSEVENBUTACO_CHTHREETASECH_ART739GELITA
Morgantown	Finance business licenses. The licenses page lists a commercial solicitors and canvassers license application. The application asks for the state business registration and a $20 fee.	https://morgantownwv.gov/DocumentCenter/View/5594/Fillable-Commercial-Solicitors-and-Canvassers-License-Application
Parkersburg	Finance business license page lists a hawker and peddler application. Ask Finance whether that application is the card for a house visit before the crew knocks.	https://www.parkersburgwv.gov/departments/finance/business_license.php
Wheeling	Business license fee table. Itinerant vendors are listed at $500. Ask the license office whether the crew's house visits use that itinerant vendor line.	https://www.wheelingwv.gov/business-license

The list

The list you can open and the sales tax presumption

These five city pages do not publish a downloadable no-knock address list. The Tax Division still treats a sale of goods or services as taxable unless an exemption is clearly provided.

No-knock lists and the West Virginia sales tax note.
Fact	Finding	Source
Known no-knock registries	The Charleston, Huntington, Morgantown, Parkersburg, and Wheeling pages in the city table do not publish a downloadable no-knock address list. A posted notice at the door is still a door the crew skips, and Do Not Contact takes that pin off the knock list.	https://www.wheelingwv.gov/business-license
Sales tax for in-home sales	The Tax Division says all sales of goods and services are presumed subject to sales tax unless an exemption is clearly provided. A special-district note on that page refers to the 6 percent sales tax.	https://tax.wv.gov/Business/SalesAndUseTax/Pages/SalesAndUseTax.aspx

The pin

The Charleston collector does not log the knock

Huntington can price the hawker license. Morgantown can take the $20 application. The territory still needs an owner, and the turf still needs the knock. Knockdesk logs the visit on the pin, including Not Home. Do Not Contact stays off the knock list and off coverage. Recording is opt-in. Consent comes before the file. Skip still logs the outcome. The score does not replace the outcome. Onboarding does not block knocks. Import and export only.
