Southborough, MA Soliciting & Door-to-Door: No-Knock Registry (2026)

Section 133-1 sets one time window for door-to-door solicitation in Southborough. No individual or individuals, group or organization can solicit door-to-door on the private property of another between 1/2 hour after sunset and 7:00 a.m. The wording covers a person, a group, or an organization. The window closes 1/2 hour after sunset and reopens at 7:00 a.m., so the evening cutoff moves with the sunset instead of a fixed clock time.

Chapter 133, Peddlers and Solicitors, is two sections long. Section 133-2 asks solicitors who intend to work between 7:00 a.m. and 1/2 hour after sunset to register with the Police Department the name or names of individual solicitors and the make, model, color and registration number of vehicles being used in connection with the solicitation. The text asks solicitors to register, and the chapter prints no household list or sign program that bars callers from a particular address.

Other chapters fill in the late-hour rules. Section 130-4(A) of the Noise bylaw prohibits yelling, shouting, whistling, singing, playing music or the making of any loud noises so as to annoy or disturb the reasonable quiet, comfort or repose of identified persons between 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m., if the activity generates an unreasonable disturbance. Section 131-1 bars any wanton or willful act on or about the premises of any person with intent to annoy or disturb any inhabitant. The Police Department enforces Chapter 130 under § 130-7(A).
