Manchester Township “No Knock Registry”
Residents who no longer wish to receive door-to-door visits
from vendors are invited to sign up for Manchester Township’s
“No Knock Registry.” The registry permits all residents to
register with the Township Clerk indicating that they do not
want hawkers, peddlers, solicitors or canvassers to approach
their homes and/or seek contact with the occupants of the
registered home. Registration can be completed through a form
made available in the Township Clerk’s office or on our website.
Once registered, the Clerk’s Office will provide a self-adhering
sticker, free of charge if picked up at the Clerk’s Office during
normal business hours. Residents may elect to apply by mail and
have their sticker delivered for a $1.00 processing and mailing
fee (checks payable to “Manchester Township.”)
The Clerk’s Office will maintain the “No Knock Registry.”
Vendors must inspect the list and cannot approach any residence
on the list, or face a fine of up to $1,000; 90 days in prison, or
90 days community service. The registry will be provided to any
licensee who is issued a license to conduct door-to-door sales
pursuant to Manchester Township Code #301-21. It should be
noted that registration upon the “No Knock Registry” does not
prohibit door- to-door solicitation by non-profit, charitable,
religious or political organizations, as these types of solicitations
are protected by the First Amendment. An application for the
“No Knock Registry” is available on our website.
