§ 30-1481. Vendor permit and business license required.

(a)

No person shall vend any article, merchandise, produce, permissible food item, or service on private property in the city without first having obtained an initial vending permit and satisfied all other requirements, including but not limited to those of the health department in the county in which the vending site is located. No permit shall be required for persons selling newspapers at-large other than from a fixed location on private property.

(b)

No person shall vend in the city on privately-owned property, except in conformity with the privileges granted for the particular class or permit issued to such person, and only on the location stated on the permit. This permit requirement is in addition to any general business license required or other special permission requirement.

(c)

No person shall engage in the business or trade of vending without first obtaining a business license from the bureau of treasury, licensing and employee benefits. Disabled veterans and blind persons, as defined by O.C.G.A. § 43-12-1, are exempt from payment of business license fees, but must obtain such licenses.

(d)

All permits issued to vendors, including flea market vendors or assistant vendors, or registered agents are nontransferable, and must be displayed in clear view, together with the vending permit photo identification card, at the permitted location at all times when the vendor or assistant vendor is present.

(e)

All permits issued to vendors, including flea market vendors, shall contain a general description of the merchandise, food, services, or any combination thereof to be offered for sale by such vendor at the permitted location, and shall indicate if the permit authorizes the sale of recordings.
