Any person or entity who owns or rents property within the Township
may register such property to be included on the "Do Not Solicit"
List by registering through the Township Clerk's office or on
the Township's website.
Maintenance of the "Do Not Solicit" List shall be as follows:
A.
The "Do Not Solicit" List shall be maintained by the Township Clerk.
The list shall be available through the official Township website.
B.
The "Do Not Solicit" List shall consist solely of property addresses
and shall include no further identifying information concerning the
ownership of each property.
C.
The Tax Assessor shall notify the Township Clerk of any change in
ownership of property within the Township. The Township Clerk shall
remove from the "Do Not Solicit" List any property which has changed
ownership.
D.
Other than by sale of property, a property may be removed from the
list upon written request made by the owner of record and filed with
the Township Clerk.
The Township Clerk's office shall:
A.
Post a copy of the "Do Not Solicit" List on the official Township
website.
B.
Provide a copy of the "Do Not Solicit" List to every applicant to whom a license is issued pursuant to Chapter 169.
C.
Provide a copy of the "Do Not Solicit" List to any person notifying the Township Clerk's office pursuant to Chapter 169 of his/her intention to engage in noncommercial soliciting or canvassing. The failure of the Township Clerk to provide the "Do Not Solicit" List to such person or the failure of such person to have received a copy of the "Do Not Solicit" List from the Township Clerk shall not provide a defense to the requirement of having in his/her possession a copy of the updated "Do Not Solicit" List as required by § 169-25.
It is prohibited for any person to conduct any commercial or
noncommercial solicitation or canvassing at any property listed on
the "Do Not Solicit" List.
The prohibition in this article shall not apply to the visiting
of a property where the owner or occupant of such property has directly
or implicitly indicated to the solicitor or canvasser, through prior
interaction, that his/her visit would be welcomed. The burden of proof
shall be on the person claiming this exemption.
Any person violating any of the provisions of this article shall
be subject to a fine of not more than $1,000 or be imprisoned for
a term not exceeding 90 days, or both, in the discretion of the court.
