Understanding Regulations for Door-to-Door Solicitations

City Latest News Posted on August 18, 2025

Residents should know the following:

  • The City of Stow does not have representatives going door-to-door to provide information or enroll residents into our utility aggregate programs. All of our programs provide information through the US mail with the associated City of Stow Logo reflected;
  • Although a solicitor carries a “Solicitor’s Permit” with the City’s logo on it, that does not mean they represent the City;
  • Residents should never provide account numbers, copies of bills or other personal information to a solicitor!
  • Residents should be cautious and review the offer closely before enrolling in a program they are unsure of. When in doubt, don’t sign up!
  • Residents can always call the Mayor’s office to verify the solicitor or the Public Service Department for help;
  • If there is a problem with a solicitor being forceful, rude, or disrespectful, contact Police Dispatch immediately to request officer assistance;
  • Residents may print the No Solicitors Invited image and place at their front door.
