Permit for Sales on Public Property in Downtown

The City is dedicated to encouraging economic activity and a vibrant downtown, while maintaining safe and accessible public pedestrian areas.  Anyone wishing to sell items on public property within the Downtown Actvity Zone (DAZ - see map) must have a Downtown Activity Permit.

You can obtain a Downtown Activity Permit from the Saturday Market, located at 30 E. Broadway #124, which is open Tuesday – Friday from 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM.

A permit costs $25 and is valid for one year.

A permit does not reserve you a specific location to conduct your sales.

The permit does not authorize the sale of food or beverage.
