Summary
Revere limits door-to-door soliciting to 9 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon-6 p.m. Sundays, and requires every solicitor to check for a posted no-solicitors notice and leave immediately if one is present or the occupant asks them to go.
Soliciting and canvassing may be conducted Monday through Saturday between the hours of nine a.m. and eight p.m., and Sundays between the hours of twelve p.m. and six p.m., excluding major holidays on which retail stores and businesses (except for local convenience stores, restaurants and other food establishments) are closed. ... It shall be the duty of every solicitor and canvasser going onto any premises in the city to first examine whether there is a notice stating that no solicitors are welcome; if such notice is present then the solicitor or canvasser shall immediately and peacefully depart from the premises. Any solicitor or canvasser who has gained entrance to any residence, whether invited or not, shall immediately and peacefully depart from the premises when requested to do so by the occupant.

Full Breakdown
m. on Sundays, excluding major holidays when retail stores and businesses are closed (local convenience stores, restaurants, and other food establishments are carved out of that holiday closure). 050 imposes an affirmative duty on every solicitor or canvasser entering any premises in the city: they must first check whether a notice is posted stating that no solicitors are welcome, and if such a notice is present they must immediately and peacefully leave. The same section requires a solicitor who has gained entrance to a residence, invited or not, to immediately and peacefully depart the moment the occupant asks them to leave.
Together the two sections give Revere residents both a time-of-day shield and a posted-notice shield: a homeowner does not need to answer the door or engage at all to invoke the right to be left alone, so long as a no-soliciting sign is visible or the occupant states the request directly. 040 separately bars any solicitor from using a deceptive plan, scheme, or ruse to misrepresent their purpose to gain admission to a home or office.
Violations & Fines
Ignoring a posted no-solicitors notice or refusing to leave when an occupant asks under Section 5.12.050, or soliciting outside the permitted hours under Section 5.12.030(J), is a violation of Chapter 5.12 punishable by a $300 fine under Section 5.12.080. A certificate holder convicted of violating these sections faces revocation of their registration under Section 5.12.060, with the certificate becoming void immediately once written notice of revocation is given.
