Peddler/Solicitor License

By ordinance, the Town of Parker requires all peddlers and solicitors engaged in door-to-door sales to obtain a permit to conduct business in Parker. The intent of this ordinance is to ensure that any individual or business engaged in door-to-door sales have business licenses. Anyone coming onto your property for the purpose of door-to-door sales must register with the Town Clerk's office, obtain a $35 license to conduct their business and pay sales tax on those transactions.

The Ordinance also allows us to deny a license or permit to any individual that has been charged with misrepresentation, fraud, deception or breach of contract in Parker or in any municipality. Anyone who has been convicted of felony crimes against people or property or who has been institutionalized for mental illness that caused acts of violence against people or property within the past five years will not be issued a license. Violation of the ordinance is a misdemeanor, and conviction carries a fine of up to $300.

Those exempt from the ordinance are people selling Girl Scout cookies, those delivering newspapers, milk, bread, firewood, and farm produce; anyone soliciting lawn or garden work and snow shoveling work; and anyone whose activities are authorized by civic, religious, charitable or political organizations.
