(A) It is unlawful for any person to act as a peddler or street vendor without having a valid peddler’s or street vendor’s license.
(B) An application for a peddler’s or street vendor’s license must be submitted on a form to be prescribed by and filed with the Clerk-Treasurer. The application shall state or provide the following information:
(1) The applicant’s full name, current address and address of permanent residence, if different;
(2) Whether the application is for:
(a) A peddler’s license; or
(b) A street vendor’s license.
(3) The driver’s license number of the applicant and license plate number of any motor vehicle to be used for purposes of peddling or street vending, if applicable;
(4) The nature of the commodity or commodities to be sold;
(5) The name and address of any person whose commodities will be sold by the applicant as an agent or representative for that person, or else a statement that the applicant will operate as an independent vendor;
(6) As the Clerk-Treasurer shall determine, either a recent color photograph of suitable size for affixture to the application and license, or else a physical description of the applicant including approximate height, weight, hair color, eye color, race or skin color and age; and
(7) A statement as to whether or not the applicant has ever been convicted in this state or any other state, the United States or any foreign country of a misdemeanor or felony committed in connection with previous peddling or street vending activities, or is under indictment therefor and, if so, the particulars thereof.
(C) The Clerk-Treasurer may require the applicant to submit with the application any documentation reasonably necessary to substantiate any of the above information. In addition, the Clerk-Treasurer may also require the applicant to submit evidence that he or she is duly registered with the state’s Department of Revenue for the collection and payment of any sales tax applicable to the commodities to be sold; and, if any commodity to be sold is a food product for human consumption other than commercially processed food sold in prepackaged form, that the applicant meets all requirements and has all permits that may be required by the State or County Board of Health. It is a violation of this chapter to knowingly provide or submit any false information or documentation with the application. Nothing in this section shall be construed to bar a person from holding both a peddler’s license and a street vendor’s license, but a separate application shall be required for each license.
