A posted "No Soliciting" sign at a Lynn home carries weight: a permitted solicitor who ignores it can be cited. Massachusetts runs no statewide no-knock registry, so protection comes through posted notice and local permit conditions.
Lynn residents can bar door-to-door sales by posting a clear "No Soliciting" notice; a commercial solicitor who disregards it, or who continues after being asked to leave, can face enforcement and risk their local authorization. Massachusetts does not run a statewide no-knock registry, so the practical protections are posted signs and the permit conditions that solicitors must follow. Political, religious, and charitable canvassing is protected speech and is not barred by a no-soliciting sign in the same way. Complaints go to the Lynn Police Department.
Ignoring a posted no-soliciting sign or a request to leave draws a citation and can lead to revocation of the solicitor's local authorization.
