How to Obtain a Solicitor's License
Definition and Application Procedure
A solicitor/hawker/peddler license is required for each individual who may go from home to home, on Village streets or sidewalks, or other public places within the village limits to sell or solicit orders for goods. Licenses do not cover the business; each person selling on behalf of a business must have an individual license.
An application can be obtained online or in person, and then the completed form must be submitted to the Village Office along with a fee of $27.00 (non-refundable). A copy of the individual’s valid Driver’s License or other accepted photo ID must be submitted with the application.
After Calumet County Sheriff's Department completes a background check and it comes back satisfactory, the license will be issued by the Village Clerk-Treasurer. If an application is denied, the applicant will be notified of the denial.
A license is valid for one (1) year from the date of when the licensed was issued.
