The Town of Sims currently has an ordinance to prevent solicitation within the town limits. You may notice the ‘No Soliciting’ signs next to the Welcome to Sims signs when you enter town from any direction. This ordinance includes any commercial activities seeking personal gain but excludes religious canvasing. The First Amendment protects freedom of religion and speech, which includes the right to engage in door-to-door evangelism.

If you prefer to not have your home visited by a religious organization or any other entity, you must post a ‘No Soliciting’ sign on your property. Should the solicitors persist, you may call the local Sheriff’s Department to report the incident.

The Town of Sims wants all residents to feel safe and protected in their homes. If you have any questions, or need assistance, please feel free to reach out to Sims Town Hall during regular business hours.
