Single Event Vendor License

Businesses selling good or services at special events are required to hold a temporary business license granting a vendor permission to operate.

Please note that this application is for individual vendors only. Event organizers should apply for a temporary commercial business license, but only if charging for admission.

Application Process

1. Submit the Single Event Vendor License application to the Business License Official. Once processed, the applicant will receive an email requesting missing documentation (if any). When all documents are received, an invoice to pay for the license is sent to the applicant via email.

2. The event organizer is responsible for obtaining a temporary sales tax license for each vendor. Once the temporary sales tax license is issued by the Utah State Tax Commission and the license is paid for, the license will be issued to the applicant via email.

Required Documents

•Proof of Business Registration: Must provide proof that the business is registered with the Utah Division of Corporations and Commercial Code.

• I'm selling food, do I need a health permit?
