Permit Fee Schedules
Farmers Market
A permit is required to operate a farmers market. Farmers market means an organized reoccurring operation at a designated location used by vendors primarily for the distribution and sale of locally produced agricultural products or a limited amount of locally produced non-agricultural products. A farmers market, in and of itself, is not an event and is not a food establishment. For more information on farmers markets, see City Code Article XI-Farmers' Markets.
