If sales will occur on a parcel of land, the application says the property must be properly zoned and a peddler’s site plan and property-owner authorization must accompany it.
Who needs it
Individuals, employers, principals, and agents who sell or offer goods or services while going door to door, moving between places, or approaching people in Arlington must apply individually.
Why it needs a notary
