Plymouth County towns run their own no-knock protections through local bylaw. Residents post a no-solicitation notice or join a town Do Not Knock registry, and a licensed solicitor who ignores it commits a bylaw violation enforced by police.
No statewide no-knock statute exists; the rules come from each town's solicitation bylaw, not the county. Many Plymouth County communities let a resident file a no-knock request with the police or post a clear no-soliciting sign, after which a registered solicitor who approaches the home violates the bylaw. Police maintain the list and hand it to every licensed canvasser. Hours are also capped, commonly barring door-to-door sales after early evening or on Sundays. The protections bind commercial solicitors; they do not restrict charitable, religious, or political callers, whose door-to-door activity is constitutionally protected.
A solicitor who knocks at a listed or posted no-knock home, or canvasses outside permitted hours, faces a fine under the town bylaw and possible revocation of the local solicitor permit.
