Suwanee sets fines for violation of peddlers ordinance

In May, Suwanee staff identified a gap in city ordinances that made it hard for the city to require peddlers obtain a permit for solicitation within the city or to prosecute violators.

At their July meeting, the Suwanee City Council voted unanimously to clarify the language in the Peddlers Ordinance to require a peddler to obtain a permit and to specify that peddlers are prohibited from soliciting sales within city limits without a permit.

The changes also state that individuals who fail to obtain a permit can be fined up to $1,000 and/or be imprisoned.
