Paramus regulates mobile vending and street solicitation through Chapter 327, requiring licenses for peddlers and hawkers and restricting noisy sales activity after 7:00 p.m.
Adopted by Ordinance No. 91-17 in 1991, Chapter 327 prohibits engaging in business as a solicitor, canvasser, peddler, or hawker without first obtaining a Borough license. The annual license fee is $50 per category, expiring December 31 each year with no proration. Applicants must complete a verified application through the Borough Clerk. After 7:00 p.m., no peddler, hawker, solicitor, or canvasser may shout, cry out, or use any sound device. The Mayor and Council may revoke licenses after notice and hearing for fraud or misrepresentation.
Operating without a license, using sound devices after 7:00 p.m., or making false statements on the application may result in license revocation, summons, and Borough penalties.
