Solicitors/Peddlers/Tag Days

All solicitors, peddlers and tag day participants must be permitted to operate in the City of Naperville. 

Please note that no permit is needed for distributing door hangers. However, adherence to the time restrictions listed below is encouraged.

• No peddling/soliciting/tagging is allowed on Sundays or on State or Federal holidays. Other time restrictions include:
  • Soliciting/Peddling - Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. only
  • Tag Days - Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. - 7 p.m. only

Permitted solicitors will be issued a badge by the City containing the solicitor's name, company and photo, similar to the example pictured at right.

Please note that the City's issuance of a permit to a solicitor or peddler does not imply City endorsement of that individual’s business or service. It merely indicates that the peddler has obtained a City of Naperville permit to go door-to-door as required by City Ordinance.
