Trenton, New Jersey: door-to-door solicitor permit

Not readable yet: the city’s rules could not be read from a primary source on the date shown. Use the call sheet.

• The answer: Not read. Trenton's rules for door-to-door sellers sit in Chapter 206 — Peddling, Soliciting and Itinerant Vendors, Article I — Peddlers, Solicitors and Canvassers, on the city's code host, eCode360, which blocked our reader both times we tried. The city's own website publishes no solicitor or peddler page, form or fee that we could find. Call before you knock and use the City Clerk Call Sheet.
• Where it comes from: Not confirmed. The City Clerk's page says the clerk's office accepts applications for business licenses and permits and issues licenses and permits, except where an ordinance gives that job to another officer; it does not name the solicitor permit.
• Fee: Not read. No fee for a peddler or solicitor license or permit was found on trentonnj.org.
• Hours you may knock: Not read.
• Code: Trenton City Code, Chapter 206 — Peddling, Soliciting and Itinerant Vendors, Article I — Peddlers, Solicitors and Canvassers, on eCode360. Not read for this card.
• Read it yourself: Trenton Code, Chapter 206, Article I — Peddlers, Solicitors and Canvassers (not read: blocked) · City of Trenton — City Clerk · checked 21 September 2026

Ask the clerk, and write the answer down:

• Does a for-profit door-to-door rep need a peddler license or a solicitor/canvasser permit under Chapter 206, and is it one per rep?
• What is the fee, and is there a bond, fingerprinting or background check?
• What hours may reps knock, and does the city keep a no-knock list?
• How long does it take to get the license or permit after applying?
