Did you know a license is required for peddlers, canvassers, solicitors, or transient merchants in the City of Kaukauna? To be granted a license, they must first pass a record check by our police department and then get approval by the City Council. If someone comes to your door to sell you something, make sure they have a proper license (shown in the photo below). Licenses must be displayed upon request. See the Solicitor’s Ordinance for more details - https://bit.ly/4i1Y8BU
