With damage from severe weather in the past week, use caution when solicitors show up on your doorstep offering their services.
Village ordinance requires a solicitor permit for every person or entity engaged in soliciting for commercial gain. All solicitors must keep their solicitor permit on their person to be displayed upon request. Soliciting is not permitted if an owner or resident has a sign indicating NO SOLICITORS.
If your home or vehicle experienced storm damage, contact your insurance carrier. Follow these tips from the Illinois Attorney General's office to avoid home repair fraud.
