Manhattan amends soliciting rules and raises application fee; board adds door sign enforcement
Summary
Trustees amended the soliciting ordinance to change fee structure, require background checks at each licensing, allow posting of license lists online, and make it a violation for solicitors to knock at homes with a 'no solicitors' sign; the board also discussed adding a photo to licenses.
The Village of Manhattan approved an ordinance Feb. 4 amending Title 2, Chapter 4 of the village code governing soliciting. The ordinance updates the licensing fee structure, requires background checks when applicants apply for a solicitor license, limits each solicitor license period to two weeks unless renewed, and makes it a violation for solicitors to knock on doors that display a no‑solicitor sign.
