New vendor law in effect in Worland

 

January 11, 2019



WORLAND — The new ordinance regarding temporary vendors in Worland is now in effect.

The City of Worland passed Ordinance #846 for Temporary Vendors on third and final reading Dec. 18. The ordinance went into effect last Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2019.

This ordinance prohibits door-to-door peddlers conducting business within the city limits unless allowed by certain exceptions and requires all temporary vendors to apply for a permit from the City of Worland.

The definition of a Temporary Vendor, according to the ordinance, is “any individual or entity engaged in the temporary business of selling and delivering food, beverages, goods, ware and merchandise within the city and who uses, leases or occupies any temporary structure, vehicle or public place for the conduct of such business. A structure which is not connected to water and sewer utilities is considered temporary. This includes any temporary vendor located on privately-owned property.”

The permit is $50 annually from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31 and requires the completion of an application, proof of a State of Wyoming Sales and Use Tax License and a Wyoming Department of Agriculture Food License for food vendors.

Vendors are asked to stop by City Hall at 829 Big Horn Avenue between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. to apply for the license.

According to Worland Clerk/Treasurer Tracy Glanz, the city will be allowing a two-month grace period to purchase the permit, after that time all temporary vendors operating without a permit may be issued a misdemeanor citation.
