§ 6.64.040. No-solicitation list for commercial solicitations.

A.

Any owner or lawful occupant of any residence within the area of the metropolitan government who wishes to prohibit door-to-door commercial solicitation, other than the sale of books and other expressive works, at his or her residence may register the address of such residence by completing a form prepared by the clerk and submitted through the clerk's website. Such registration shall take effect thirty calendar days after the date of the clerk's receipt of the registration form.

B.

The clerk shall maintain and publish on the nashville.gov website a no-solicitation list consisting of all residential addresses that have been registered under subsection A. above and that have not been deleted by the clerk under subsection D. below or by the owner or lawful occupant of the registered property. Each permit holder shall be responsible for obtaining and reviewing a copy of such list immediately upon issuance of a permit under this chapter and at such intervals thereafter as may be reasonably necessary to ensure compliance with the requirements of subsection C. below.

C.

As of the effective date of the registration of a residential address under subsection A. above, all door-to-door commercial solicitation at such address shall be prohibited until such time, if at all, that the address has been deleted from the no-solicitation list.

D.

Each residential address appearing on the metropolitan government's no-solicitation list will remain on the list for three hundred sixty-five days from the date it was electronically submitted to the clerk unless removed by the owner or lawful occupant of the residence in accordance with subsection E. of this section. It shall be the duty of the owner or lawful occupant of a residence appearing on the no-solicitation list to ensure that the information included on the no-solicitation list is up-to-date. Such owner or lawful occupant shall provide the clerk with updated information as necessary. It shall be the responsibility of the owner or lawful occupant of the residence to resubmit the address for placement on the no-solicitation list after the three hundred sixty-five day period has expired.

E.

The owner or lawful occupant of any residence placing his/her address on the no-solicitation list may cause such residence to be removed from the list by submitting a written request for removal of the same to the clerk, and shall cause such residence to be removed if the ownership or lawful occupancy of the residence changes. All new owners or lawful occupants must register as provided in subsection A. above in order to be placed on the no-solicitation list.

F.

Neither the metropolitan government nor any of its officers, employees, agents or authorized volunteers shall be liable to any person for any injuries, damages or liabilities of any kind arising from or relating to any errors or omissions that may occur in compiling or maintaining the no-solicitation list.
