Peddling and Solicitation Ordinance
For the protection of Lower Macungie Township residents, Codified Ordinance Chapter 13, Part 1, establishes rules and regulations for any persons soliciting and peddling items and services door-to-door throughout the Township:
- The Township shall license all peddlers and solicitors. Each individual soliciting or peddling shall carry the license with them at all times.
- The peddler or solicitor shall have photo identification, such as a driver’s license, with them at all times and shall exhibit it at the homeowner’s request.
- If a property is posted NO PEDDLING OR SOLICITING the peddler or solicitor shall not enter the property.
- The peddler or solicitor shall not enter any dwelling without the homeowner’s request.
- The peddler or solicitor shall only engage in peddling Monday thru Saturday during daylight hours.
- The peddler or solicitor shall not engage in any activity that creates a nuisance or disrupts traffic.
Persons going door-to-door canvassing about religious or political subjects however, are exempt from these requirements. Public charities, local churches, scout troops, civic and service organizations, fire companies, athletic organizations and the like are also exempt.
Please remember that these regulations only apply to individuals making verbal contact with residents. Individuals distributing flyers or brochures are not required to get a license from the Township.
As a precaution we recommend that you should not let anyone who is soliciting or peddling without a permit issued by LMT and a photo ID into your home.
If you see anybody peddling or soliciting without a permit, PLEASE notify the Township's Code Enforcement Officer (610-966-4343) or the PA State Police (610-395-1438) immediately.
