Door to Door Solitication

Shelby Township has a "No Soliciting" ordinance which allows every resident the opportunity to put their address on a "No Soliciting" list that restricts most solicitors from knocking on your door.  

As mentioned in the April 2013 Newsletter, rather than each co-owner having to put their address on that list, the Board of Directors decided to have all of our addresses placed on that list.  The Shelby Twp. Clerk's office allows us to do it this way, providing we first inform all co-owners that they have the opportunity to opt-out, which we did in the newsletter.  

The Board received no opt-out requests, therefore as of Sept. 5, 2013,  all addresses in the Manors at Central Park have been placed on the Shelby Twp. “No Soliciting” list.  If you wish to have your address removed from the list, you may do so at any time by submitting your request in writing and mailing it to the Shelby Twp. Clerk's Office at 52700 Van Dyke Ave., Shelby Township, MI 48316.

The Board received 118 "No Soliciting per Shelby Twp. Ordinance 246" stickers from the Township Clerk, which will soon be distributed to each residence in the Manors. The use of the sticker is optional because you are already covered by having your address on the list. However, there is "strength in numbers" and the Board recommends that everyone place their sticker in a visible location at the front door, preferably on the side glass near the door bell (not on the painted door surface).

Please note that the "No Knock" Ordinance 246 does not apply to the following types of solicitors:

• out-of-state vendors
• scout troops
• religious groups
• charitable organizations and political groups protected by the U.S. Constitution.
