Door-to-door selling in Atlantic County is licensed by each municipality, not the county. New Jersey law, N.J.S.A. 40:52-1, empowers a town to license and regulate hawkers, peddlers, and itinerant vendors, and Atlantic County towns require registration and a police background check.
New Jersey vests peddler and solicitor licensing in the municipality. Under N.J.S.A. 40:52-1 a governing body may license and regulate hawkers, peddlers, and itinerant vendors of merchandise. Every Atlantic County municipality has adopted a peddler, solicitor, or canvasser ordinance requiring a commercial door-to-door seller to register with the town clerk or police, submit to a criminal background check, carry a photo identification badge, and observe permitted hours. Charitable, religious, and political canvassers are treated differently and generally cannot be barred, since their door-to-door activity is constitutionally protected, but a commercial solicitor in Atlantic City, Brigantine, Ventnor, Egg Harbor Township, Galloway, or Hammonton must hold the local permit.
Soliciting without the required municipal permit lets police order the canvasser to stop, issue a municipal-court fine under the local ordinance, and bar future licensing.
