Norfolk County has no no-knock registry. Several member municipalities (Quincy, Brookline, Dedham, Weymouth) maintain their own no-soliciting lists. Posted no-soliciting signs must be respected by permitted solicitors.
No-knock registries in Norfolk County are municipal, not county-wide. Quincy, Brookline, Dedham, Weymouth, and several other Norfolk County towns maintain no-soliciting lists that residents can join free via the town clerk or police department. Registered addresses must be avoided by permitted commercial solicitors, and posted "No Soliciting" signs carry the same legal weight. Religious, political, and nonprofit canvassing are constitutionally protected and cannot be blocked by no-knock lists (Watchtower Bible v. Stratton, 2002). Residents should contact their individual town clerk to register β the county has no database.
No county enforcement. Municipal ignoring sign/registry: $50-$500 depending on town. Repeat violations: permit revocation.
