Peddling Permits

Any person who wishes to act as a hawker, peddler, or solicitor within the Village of Webster must obtain a Peddler’s Permit from the Village Office prior to engaging in soliciting door-to-door. Peddling is governed in Webster by local law. The Town and Village have separate laws for peddling and soliciting within their boundaries. The following do not require a permit in the Village:
  1. Newspapers
  2. Political Candidates
  3. Religious sects - Selling religious materials
  4. Webster children - school or activity

In the Village, each person going door-to-door must have his/her own individual permit issued by our office. The permit will show their picture with the individual's name and an expiration date and must be worn at all times while operating within the Village. The Peddling permit application must be completed and submitted with payment. Each employee that will be peddling in the Village must come in to the office with their photo ID and get their picture taken. In addition, background checks will be performed and it may take up to two weeks to get the results.

Permit fees are as follows:
  • Individual vendors for 1 year - $300.00
  • Individual vendors for 1 event - $150.00
  • Companies for 1 year - $450.00 up to 3 employees, $50.00 for each additional employee
  • Companies for 1 event $400.00 up to 4 employees, $25.00 for each additional employee
  • Nonprofit organizations are not required to pay the permit fee

Notice to Village Residents:
Peddlers must wear the permit on their person in a visible manner when soliciting. If a peddler is found to be soliciting without a permit, you are encouraged to report the solicitor to the Webster Police by calling 9-1-1, especially if you fear for your personal safety or are suspicious of the activity. It is most helpful if you have the company name, the name of the individual, and type of vehicle. If possible, please try to obtain any literature or brochures offered, as this will assist an investigation. Also, please notify the Village Office if you had a negative experience with a licensed solicitor. A permit can be revoked if the behavior is in violation of the Village Code. Please see the list below for peddlers who have an active permit. Peddlers should only be soliciting between the hours of 9:00 AM - 7:30 PM.
