The sworn application goes to the city clerk's office with two references and a $10 fee (Sec. 9-203). Sec. 9-204 sets a $70 fee per 14-day period and a 180-day yearly limit, and Sec. 9-206 requires a $2,500 bond; holders of a current Cookeville business license are exempt from fees and bond only (Sec. 9-202). The permit must be shown to anyone solicited (Sec. 9-209) and can be revoked for entering residential premises before 9:00 a.m. or after dusk, or where a sign prohibits peddlers or solicitors (Sec. 9-211). Sec. 5-302 separately requires a city business license for any business taxed under Sec. 5-301. 1099 independent contractors handle their own compliance.
