Joliet's solicitation ordinance (Chapter 22, Peddlers and Solicitors) requires all door-to-door solicitors to obtain a permit from the Joliet Police Department prior to engaging in solicitation within city limits. The permit application costs $30 per person and must be submitted at the JPD front desk. The permit must contain the solicitor's name, employer, and expiration date, and must be carried and displayed upon request at all times while soliciting. Residents who wish to prohibit solicitors from knocking may post a 'Solicitors Prohibited: No Soliciting - No Canvassing' sign in a conspicuous location on their front door. Solicitors who ignore posted no-soliciting signs or who operate without a valid permit are in violation of the ordinance. The Joliet Police Department provides downloadable no-soliciting signs referencing the applicable ordinance section.
Soliciting without a valid permit or ignoring posted no-soliciting signs is a violation of the municipal code. Violations can be reported to the Joliet Police Department at (815) 726-2491 for officer dispatch to verify compliance.
