The Monroe Township Police Department shall maintain a record of addresses for those properties where either the owner or the occupant has formally indicated that peddling, soliciting, canvassing, itinerant vending, and door-to-door sales activities are prohibited (hereinafter referred to as the "Do-Not-Knock Registry"). Residents may notify the Monroe Township Police Department by completing a designated form, available during standard office hours. This Registry shall be continually updated by the Monroe Township Police Department.
[Added 2-25-2026 by Ord. No. O:09-2026]
No person who is subject to the licensing or regulatory requirements of Chapter 230 shall engage in door-to-door peddling, soliciting, or canvassing at any property listed on the No-Knock Registry. The prohibition set forth herein applies regardless of whether the individual or entity is otherwise properly licensed or permitted under Chapter 230. The No-Knock Registry constitutes an absolute bar to door-to-door solicitation at listed properties.
Any resident who has formally requested inclusion on the Do-Not-Knock Registry may procure, for a nominal administrative fee, a decal or sticker from the Monroe Township Police Department. This decal is to be prominently displayed at their property, serving as a visible indication of their enlistment on the Do-Not-Knock Registry.
At the point of license issuance for peddling, soliciting, canvassing, itinerant vending, or door-to-door sales, the Monroe Township Police Department shall provide the licensee with the most up-to-date version of the Do-Not-Knock Registry. It shall be unlawful for the licensee to engage in any of the aforementioned activities at any address listed on the current Do-Not-Knock Registry.
