In November 2023, the Belton City Council approved Ordinance 2023-4819(PDF, 2MB) amending peddler/solicitor requirements. Peddler/solicitor ID cards will be issued through the Belton Police Department. The ID card must be worn at all times while soliciting.
Peddler/solicitor is defined in the Code of Ordinances, Section 15-350. Canvassers, also defined in Section 15-350, are exempt from the ID requirement, but are still required to comply with Division I of Chapter 15, Article VI.
Peddler/solicitor ID cards are available exclusively through the Belton Police Department, 7001 E 163rd St, Belton, MO 64012. They are open Monday-Friday, 8:00 am-4:00 pm (excluding holidays). Call ahead for an appointment to ensure someone is available to issue the ID card.
Peddler/solicitor ID cards are $25/each (cash or check). They are valid for 60 days.
An annual business license is still required through the City Clerk's office for the business company, but the Police Department will administer the individual peddler/solicitor ID cards.
