Unclear wording: ask the clerk
“Except as permitted hereinafter, the conduct of any temporary or transient businesses … is hereby prohibited. … Sales made … at residential premises pursuant to an invitation issued by the owner or legal occupant … or to "home solicitation sales"”
The code prohibits transient businesses except listed activities, including invited residential sales and undefined "home solicitation sales"; it does not say whether uninvited door-to-door sales qualify.
