A regular vendor’s license is issued to vendors with a fixed place of business. The application fee is $25.00 with no yearly renewal fee. A new law allows for the transfer of a vendor’s license to another location WITHIN THE SAME COUNTY. You may obtain a request for transfer of a vendor’s license form STE-TL at your county Auditors office.

Application forms can be obtained from the County Auditor’s office.
