Tinley Park requires door-to-door solicitors and peddlers to register with the Village and obtain a permit prior to canvassing. Background checks are required and solicitors must display Village-issued identification.
The Village of Tinley Park's peddling and soliciting ordinance requires anyone engaged in door-to-door commercial sales or canvassing to register with the Village Clerk and obtain a solicitor permit. Applicants submit identification, employer information, a description of goods or services, and consent to a background check processed through the Tinley Park Police Department. Permits are non-transferable and valid for a defined period (typically 30-90 days). Solicitors must visibly display the Village-issued identification badge while working. Religious, political, and noncommercial canvassers are generally exempt under First Amendment protections but may register voluntarily. Solicitation hours are typically limited to 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and posted 'No Soliciting' signs carry legal effect.
Soliciting without permit: $250-$750 fine. Ignoring 'No Soliciting' signs: $100-$500. Repeat violations may result in permit revocation and criminal trespass charges.
