Do Peddlers, Solicitors, Transient Merchants and Mobile Vendors need a permit?
Commercial peddlers or solicitors, transient merchants, and mobile vendors need a
permit issued by the City before operating and will then receive a City-issued ID. Noncommercial
solicitors (i.e. soliciting for religious, political, social or other ideological
beliefs and non-profit activities) do not need a permit, but must provide the City with a
list of the full names and birth dates of individuals going door-to-door, wear or display
identification, and abide by City Code.

The cost of a permit is $100 per person. Permits expire on Dec. 31 of the year issued.
