Full Breakdown
, unless the householder or occupant expressly invites the visit. A resident who wants to opt out entirely can post a sign reading "No Peddling, Soliciting or Canvassing" (or words of like intent); § 390-8A(4) makes it unlawful for a licensee to approach that property at all, and if a solicitor is asked to leave any property, staying after the request is itself a separate violation. on school days, regardless of the general 10-to-8 window. Every licensee is also limited to one vehicle or conveyance under § 390-8B, and the restrictions do not override any other applicable ordinance under § 390-8C.
The underlying license itself is required by § 390-3 and issued by the Town Clerk after the review process in § 390-5 and § 390-6, so an unlicensed peddler ignoring these hours and signs is compounding two separate violations.
Violations & Fines
Violating the hours, sign, or school-buffer rules in § 390-8 (other than the licensing requirement itself) is a violation under § 390-13B punishable by a fine up to $250 and/or up to 30 days' imprisonment; a repeat violation becomes a misdemeanor punishable by a fine up to $500 and/or up to three months' imprisonment. Operating without the underlying license at all is a misdemeanor under § 390-13A, fined up to $500 and/or three months, rising to $1,000 and/or one year for a second offense. Each day a violation continues counts as a separate offense.
