Solicitor Permits

The Village requires all door-to-door solicitors, canvassers, and peddlers conducting business within Village limits to obtain a valid Solicitor Permit prior to engaging in any activity. This permitting process helps protect residents and ensures that individuals soliciting in the community have met local requirements.

A current list of approved permit holders is provided below for residents’ reference. Only individuals listed and in possession of a valid permit are authorized to solicit within the Village. If you have a solicitor who does not have a permit, please call City Hall at 217-267-2507 or the Non-Emergency Dispatch at 217-442-0155.

All permitted solicitors are required to wear an official Village-issued lanyard and permit badge at all times while soliciting. Below is a sample of the permit badges & lanyards. The lanyard must be worn visibly and presented upon request. Residents are encouraged to verify a solicitor’s permit and lanyard before engaging and to report any concerns or unpermitted activity to Village Hall or the Police Department.

For questions regarding solicitor permits or to apply, please contact Village Hall during regular business hours.
