Englewood Chapter 311 requires peddlers, solicitors, and transient merchants to obtain a city license before engaging in door-to-door sales.
Chapter 311 of the Englewood Code regulates Peddling, Soliciting, and Transient Merchants. Anyone engaging in door-to-door sales, canvassing for orders, or operating as a transient merchant must apply for and obtain a Peddlers or Solicitors License from the City Clerk before conducting business. Applications require identifying information, business details, and may include background checks. The City Clerk's office serves as the licensing authority and maintains records of approved licensees. Real estate canvassing is separately regulated under Article III of the chapter.
Unlicensed peddling or soliciting can result in citations, fines, and removal from the city under Chapter 311 penalties.
