The Town of Perinton Peddling and Soliciting Policy is governed by Chapter 163 of the Town Code, known as the “Peddling, Vending and Soliciting Law in the Town of Perinton.” The purpose is to regulate soliciting in order that Town residents are not unduly disturbed. A Peddlers License (Permit) is required for any person who engages in merchandising any goods, wares, or services or solicits contributions of goods or money by going from house to house or temporarily occupying a building or premises for these purposes.
Nonprofit organizations and persons working for such organizations are exempt provided that such organizations register at least once every 12 months with the Town Clerk.
Applying for a Peddlers Permit:
- Individuals or business owners must complete fingerprint submission with Identogo (applicant is responsible for fees) and signed Application to the Town Clerk’s Office for each person or employee that will be engaging in peddling or soliciting.
*Application will not be accepted without Identogo receipt*
- Valid identification must be presented when submitting application.
- When a completed application is received by the Town Clerk, a photo will be taken of the applicant. If approved, the applicant will receive a Town issued peddler ID badge. (The background review process is estimated to take between 5-7 days once results of the background check have been received.)
- When the background review report is received, the information will be reviewed by the Safety and Security Director who will determine whether to authorize the issuance of the permit/license.
- The Town Clerk may refuse a permit/license to applicants in accordance with the terms set forth in Chapter 163-7B of the Perinton Town Code
- If approved, the applicant will be notified and required to pay the applicable fee
