How it Works

Email application to DPS.vendor-license@montgomerycountymd.gov
A nonrefundable permit fee must be paid with application.

How it Works

 In addition to the application, an applicant must submit:

• A scaled site plan indicating where the vendor is to be located.
• A valid driver's license is required to process the application.
• If a site is located on private property, a letter allowing use of the property for vending is required. Only zoning categories which permit the commercial use proposed on the application may be occupied by the vendor.
• If the site is in the public right-of-way, the vendor must apply for and be approved as a Certified Agricultural Producer. (See Certification for Agricultural Producers for requirements.)
• The selling of prepared foods or pre-packaged food and beverages of any kind requires a Certified Food Service Managers ID Card and Inspection Report from the Licensure and Regulatory Services Section of the Department of Health and Human Services (240) 777-3986.

How it Works

The normal processing time for approval or denial of a vendor’s license is ten days. If a review has been approved, your inspector will contact you to schedule an inspection. If the application cannot be approved, staff will contact you with the basis of denial.

How it Works

Vendor inspections are scheduled by your area zoning inspector. They will contact you for inspection. If an additional inspection is needed the inspection will be arranged after the initial visit.
