Door-to-door selling in the Peoria area is licensed locally. The City of Peoria requires a Peddler/Solicitor License, and a separate Transient Merchant License for short-term sellers. Smaller municipalities and unincorporated Peoria County have their own rules.
Door-to-door selling in the Peoria area is licensed locally. The City of Peoria requires a Peddler/Solicitor License, plus a separate Transient Merchant License for short-term sellers without a fixed local location; smaller municipalities such as Chillicothe and Bartonville have their own peddler ordinances, and unincorporated areas fall under Peoria County. Commercial solicitors typically register, submit to a background check, and carry identification while canvassing, and permitted hours are capped. Charitable, religious, and political canvassers are treated differently and generally cannot be barred, because their door-to-door activity is protected speech under the First Amendment.
Soliciting without the required municipal license lets police order the seller to stop, issue an ordinance fine, and deny future permits; hour and badge violations carry their own citations.
