For the protection of residents, all door-to-door salesmen in the City of Monmouth are required to obtain a permit from City Hall, reminds Communications Director Ken Helms:
“All door-to-door salesmen are required to come into City Hall and fill out a permit. That permit allows us to basically make sure they are not scaring our residents; they aren’t doing things that they shouldn’t be doing, and if they are we revoke their permit, which then removes them from town. The police will escort them out and there will be fines against them,” states Helms.
“If you have a door-to-door person, whether they are selling or informing you on services, if they don’t have a badge around their neck that actually has the City of Monmouth, lists their name, and what their permit number is, give us a call at City Hall. Police will come out and that person will be warned, or fined, and asked to leave town,” Helms adds.
For any questions or to report a door-to-door salesman in Monmouth, contact City Hall at 309-734-2141.
