Village adopts local law restricting commercial door-to-door solicitation
Summary
Trustees adopted Local Law No. 3 of 2026 amending Chapter 76 to regulate commercial peddling and implement a no-knock registry, exempting nonprofits and political canvassing; board said residents complained about unsolicited commercial sales at doorsteps.
The Village Board adopted a local law amending Chapter 76 of the village code to restrict door-to-door commercial solicitation and establish a no-knock registry. The Chair said the law is intended "to prohibit, door to door commercial, sales of any item" while exempting charities, scouts, and political canvassing.
The measure was presented in a public hearing with no speakers opposed and passed by voice vote. Trustees said the regulation responds to multiple resident complaints about unsolicited commercial visits and aims to balance consumer protection with carved-out exemptions for not-for-profit and political activity.
