Cambridge
Partly read: the permit answer is sourced, but the fee or the hours could not be read from the city’s own pages.
- Permit: Yes — a Door-to-Door Solicitation Permit from the Cambridge Police Department, applied for by each rep.
- Fee: Not published. Neither the Records Unit page nor the application form states a fee for the door-to-door permit.
- Hours you may knock: Not published for door-to-door sales. The only hour rule in the code is for hawkers crying their wares — not before eight in the morning or after nine at night (5.36.030) — and it is written for street peddling of the goods listed in the state hawkers and peddlers law.
