Fact	Finding	Source
Home solicitation or cooling-off	RSA 361-B:1 defines a home solicitation sale as a sale of goods or services priced at $150 or more, made anywhere other than the seller's permanent place of business. A cash or credit sale counts. RSA 361-B:2 requires a completed receipt and a bold notice that the buyer may cancel any time prior to midnight of the third business day after the transaction. A contract that uses the Federal Trade Commission door to door cancellation notice complies when that notice gives at least the same cancel information.	https://gc.nh.gov/rsa/html/XXXIII-A/361-B/361-B-2.htm
In-person recording consent	RSA 570-A:2 requires the consent of all parties before a person intercepts a telecommunication or an oral communication. RSA 570-A:1 defines oral communication as verbal communication uttered with a reasonable expectation that it is not subject to interception, and it defines intercept to include recording. The same consent rule covers the telephone call and the private talk at the door.	https://gc.nh.gov/rsa/html/lviii/570-a/570-a-2.htm
State solicitor or peddler license	The table of contents for RSA 320, Hawkers and Peddlers, says the chapter is repealed. The table of contents for RSA 321, Itinerant Vendors, says that chapter is repealed. RSA 31:102-a lets a city or town license people who go from place to place selling or taking orders.	https://gc.nh.gov/rsa/html/III/31/31-102-a.htm

The city

Door to door solicitation laws New Hampshire change at the city line

A solicitor permit new hampshire is a city license under RSA 31:102-a, not a current state hawker card. Nashua requires a vendor license from the City Clerk before a person acts as a hawker or peddler. Dover lists a peddler permit and a peddler license with the City Clerk. Door to door solicitation laws new hampshire are that city split. The territory still needs the visit on the pin, or the turf never shows the license.

City	Permit office	Source
Manchester	Code 115.50 requires a Civic Center peddler license for that zone, filed with the City Clerk. That section is not written as a house-to-house card for the rest of the city.	https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/manchester/latest/manchester_nh/0-0-0-7706
Nashua	Code 231-11 says no person shall act as a vendor without a license from the City Clerk. Section 231-10 defines a hawker or peddler as a person who goes from place to place selling or bartering goods, wares, merchandise, or services.	https://ecode360.com/8734572
Concord	Licensing Services says a peddler license is required to sell a physical product on city property and cites ordinance 15-8-1 through 15-8-9. That page speaks to city property.	https://www.concordnh.gov/1909/Licensing-Services
Dover	The City Clerk special permits page lists a peddler permit for up to 12 weeks and a peddler license. Questions go to the City Clerk at 603-516-6018.	https://www.dover.nh.gov/government/city-operations/finance/city-clerk-tax-collection/special-permits/
Rochester	Ordinance 171-2, adopted under RSA 31:102-a, requires a license before a person acts as a hawker, peddler, or itinerant vendor. The application goes to the Director of Building, Zoning, and Licensing Services. The ordinance sets a fee of $25 per week or $100 for the longer permit.	https://ecode360.com/RO2619/laws/LF2092665.pdf

The list

No address list, and no general sales tax

The Manchester, Nashua, Concord, Dover, and Rochester pages used for the permit table do not publish a no-knock address list. Nashua Code 231-9 says a charitable solicitation permit does not authorize entry on private property without the owner's consent. The Department of Revenue Administration says there is no general sales tax on goods purchased in New Hampshire.

Known no-knock lists	The five city pages in the permit table do not publish a no-knock address list. Nashua Code 231-9 still says a charitable solicitation permit is not permission to enter private property.	https://ecode360.com/8734572
Sales tax for in-home sales	The Department of Revenue Administration says there is no general sales tax on goods purchased in New Hampshire.	https://www.revenue.nh.gov/faq/does-new-hampshire-have-sales-tax

The pin

The vendor license does not file the visit

Nashua can ask for the vendor license. Rochester can ask for the hawker license. The visit still has to land on the address. Knockdesk keeps the territory and the turf on the pin. Log visit including Not Home. Do Not Contact stays off the knock list and off coverage. Recording is opt-in. Consent is chosen before any file starts, and skip still logs the outcome. A score does not replace outcome. Onboarding does not block knocks. Import and export only.
