Joel brings nearly six years of experience as a City Manager in Napoleon and 15 years of professional experience as an official in various departments in the City of Toledo. He and his family are in the process of purchasing a home here in Oregon, and we are all looking forward to him becoming an important part of our administrative staff and community.

Peddlers and Solicitors

75In order to solicit door to door in the City of Oregon, you must obtain a Certificate of Registration per OMC Chapter 729, Ordinance 093-2022.

The ‘Application for License’ for vendors and solicitors can be found here.

The application must be completed in its entirety and delivered to the office of the City Administrator along with photo identification. A $75 fee will be collected by Police Records prior to the fingerprint process. This fee is for the completion of a police background check on the solicitor. EACH SOLICITOR must complete an application and pay $75 for a FBI & BCI police background check.

A Certificate of Registration will be provided between 72 hours and several weeks as a criminal history from FBI and BCI could take that long to be processed and completed. This Certificate will be in effect for 12 months from the date issued. If any of the 22 disqualifiers (see attached list under OMC Chapter 729) are found in the background check, the Certificate of Registration will not be issued.

If you have any questions, please contact the office of the Oregon City Administrator at 419-698-7095 or sgarverick@oregonohio.org.
