Welcome to the Town of Oakland’s “No Solicitation List” Registration. The Town receives numerous complaints about unwanted solicitors/peddlers. In response to these citizen complaints, the Oakland Town Council passed Ordinance 18-07, creating a No Solicitation List. Subsequently, solicitors, peddlers, transient vendors and street barkers will be prohibited from approaching addresses in a residential area that have expressly requested to be listed on the Town’s No Solicitation List. The Oakland No Solicitation List will be updated periodically and will indicate, among other things, the date of the last revision.
Note to Solicitors: No solicitors, peddlers, transient vendors or street barkers unless invited, shall solicit at an address appearing on the No Solicitation List or at any residence in the Town of Oakland upon which there is posted at the entrance a notice which reads “No Solicitation” or similar wording. For a copy of the current No Solicitation List, please call the Building and Codes Department at 901-235-6894, or visit the Town’s website at oaklandtennessee.org.
Any information the Town of Oakland receives may be subject to disclosure under the Tennessee Public Records Act.
Note: Information provided to solicitors/peddlers will include address and street name only. This list does not apply to solicitors under the age of 18 unless the solicitor is acting as an agent or employee of a person or organization that would otherwise be required to obtain a permit.
“Oakland TN was established in 1830 on both sides of Stage Road, a road running from Memphis through Raleigh, through Oakland and on to Somerville. Dr. James A. Hunter erected the first house and he and his brothers opened the first dry goods store. By 1831, Oakland had enough residents for a post office.” from The History of Fayette County, Tennessee pages 256-257
