Monroe Township (Gloucester County), NJ Soliciting & Door-to-Door: Solicitor Permits (2026)

Monroe Township, in Gloucester County, charges door-to-door solicitors and peddlers through § 74-27 of its fee schedule, which is tied to Chapter 230 (Peddling and soliciting). Chapter 230 is not in the exported code text, so the conduct rules inside it, such as hours or how an ID is displayed, are not quoted here. What the portion of the Township Code read for this page prints is the license fee structure.

A solicitor pays a solicitor's license fee of $100 as an annual fee. After the license is approved, the solicitor pays a $25 ID fee. A peddler is charged on the same pattern in its own subsection: a peddler's license fee of $100 as an annual fee and a $25 ID fee after approval of the license. Subsection D, Exemptions, points to § 230-4, § 230-9 and § 230-26 and prints no exemption text of its own.

Chapter 126 applies on top of the license. Section 126-2(A) names peddlers, solicitors and transient vendors among the businesses that must register a certificate of insurance with the Township Clerk, and § 126-1 makes it unlawful to operate in the Township without that registration. Section 126-4 sets the fee at $50, with registrations expiring on December 31 of each year and renewals due no later than December 1. A nonprofit organization that proves its nonprofit status is exempt from the fee but still registers. The application under § 126-5 asks for the applicant's name and address, the address of the business, a description of the goods or services to be sold and a certificate of insurance.

Section 74-27 was amended 11-26-2018 by Ord. No. O:35-2018, 4-28-2021 by Ord. No. O:06-2021 and 2-28-2024 by Ord. No. O:03-2024.
