Maryland Do Not Call and Solicitation Restrictions

Under Commercial Law Article Sections 14-301 through 14-306, the Maryland Door-to-Door Sales Act gives consumers a three-business-day right to cancel any home solicitation sale of $25 or more. Sellers must provide written notice of cancellation rights at the time of sale in the same language as the negotiation. Maryland also enforces Do Not Call protections through the state Telephone Solicitations Act. While individual cities and counties may require solicitor permits and enforce no-knock lists locally, the consumer protection cancellation right and telemarketing rules apply uniformly statewide and cannot be waived.

Violations of the Door-to-Door Sales Act are unfair trade practices subject to Attorney General enforcement, civil penalties up to $10,000 per violation, and consumer restitution.
