SELLERS PERMIT

The State of California requires that all vendors have a Seller’s Permit in order to regulate the collection of sales tax. If you don’t already have one, it will be your responsibility to fill out the proper forms. If you do already have one, make sure that Smorgasburg is listed as a sub-location (especially if you are registered in another city.) It is free to register.
