Full Breakdown
through half an hour before sunset for door-to-door peddling. Anyone conducting hawking, peddling or soliciting in Greece must first hold a license from the Town Clerk under §§ 150-6 through 150-8, issued for three months to one year and always expiring December 31; the license must be carried and exhibited on demand. Section 150-9G further bars peddling on Town-owned or leased property (outside public streets) or on private property where the owner or law prohibits it, unless a license has been issued.
Violations & Fines
Chapter 150 does not print a standalone numeric fine table in the excerpted sections; a hawker, peddler or solicitor who blocks a sidewalk or right-of-way with a booth, barrel or similar obstruction in violation of § 150-9D is subject to the chapter's licensing enforcement, and the Town Clerk's office and Code Enforcement can act against unlicensed obstruction as a violation of the peddling and soliciting license terms.
