Reminder: Licence Required for Door-to-Door Sales in Cobourg

Cobourg, ON (June 3, 2026) – The Town of Cobourg Legislative Services Division would like to remind residents of the Itinerant Vendor Bylaw (017-2025) regarding door-to-door sales.

An Itinerant Vendor Licence is required to sell goods or services door-to-door in the Town of Cobourg. This includes displaying samples of goods to be delivered at a later date or conducting business at a location in Town other than a permanent place of business.

If residents believe a vendor is selling goods or services door-to-door without a licence, they may:

• Ask the vendor to show their issued Itinerant Vendor Licence
• Refuse to open the door or ask them to leave the premises
• Contact Municipal Law Enforcement with the company name and contact details to report unlicensed activity: 905-372-8380

Current Licensed Vendors

A list of Itinerant Vendor Licences issued is available on the Cobourg website at www.cobourg.ca/doortodoor. There is currently one Itinerant Vendor Licence issued in the Town of Cobourg, to YES Acquisitions Inc., which is selling customer sign-ups for Cogeco Inc. services on the company's behalf.
