Haverhill, Massachusetts: door-to-door solicitor permit

Partly read: the permit answer is sourced, but the fee or the hours could not be read from the city’s own pages. The clerk questions below cover the gap.

• The answer: Not confirmed. The City Clerk's fee schedule charges for a Hawker/peddler license, so the license exists, but we could not read the city code to see whether it covers door-to-door reps who take orders. The code is on eCode360, which blocked us. Call the city with the City Clerk Call Sheet.
• Where it comes from: The City Clerk issues and records the Hawker/peddler license, per the clerk's fee schedule. Who approves it was not read.
• Fee: $100.00 for a Hawker/peddler license of 30 days or less, and $300.00 for over 30 days, per the City Clerk's 2025 fee schedule. The city also posts a 2026 fee schedule, but it is a scanned image we could not read, so the 2026 amounts are not confirmed.
• Hours you may knock: Not read. The city code could not be opened.
• Code: The Code of the City of Haverhill is hosted on eCode360. It blocked us, so no chapter, section or currency statement was read.
• Read it yourself: City of Haverhill — City Clerk fee schedule, 2025 (PDF) · City of Haverhill — City Clerk fee schedule, 2026 (scanned PDF, not readable) · Code of the City of Haverhill — eCode360 (blocked) · checked 23 September 2026

Ask the clerk, and write the answer down:

• Whether a door-to-door rep taking orders for services needs the Hawker/peddler license, and the code section
• The current 2026 fee for 30 days or less and for over 30 days, and whether it is per rep
• What hours door-to-door sales are allowed, and the code section
• Whether the police chief must approve door-to-door sales, and how long approval takes
