Peddler / Solicitor permit

REQUIREMENTS:

Any person who wishes to act as a hawker, peddler or solicitor within the Town of Chili must obtain a solicitor’s permit from the Town Clerk prior to engaging in that activity. (Non-profit organizations, religious organizations conducting religious activities and sales of home-grown produce are exempt). Please review the Town of Chili Peddling and Soliciting Code for complete information regarding peddling.

APPLICATION PROCESS:

Each solicitor must complete an APPLICATION at least 30 days in advance of the first day of solicitation.

FEES:

  • Business Application Fee             – $250 annually
  • Peddler License Fee                      -$30/month
  • Peddler Background Check Fee   -$65 annually

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW:

A solicitor must have the permit with them at all times. They cannot say it is with their boss, or they forgot, or that it is in their car. Please notify the Town Clerk’s office (889-6127) if you had an unlicensed individual at your door so that we may alert them to our law. It is most helpful if you have the company name and the name of the individual. You may also call the Sheriff (911) and are encouraged to do so especially if you fear for your personal safety or are suspicious of the activity. Also, please notify us if you had a negative experience with a licensed solicitor.

A permit can be revoked if enough complaints are received, and the behavior is in violation of the Town Code.
