Special Permits

What is an information card and who needs it?

An information card, issued by the City's Committee on Permits and Licenses, shows the public that an organization seeking to solicit donation of funds, goods or services in support of a charitable purpose has filed with the City the required notice of intention to solicit. An information card is not an endorsement by the City of either the organization or the charitable purpose for which the solicitation is being conducted.
