Temporary Seller's Permit

$20.00

This permit is only required if you do not already have a City of Reno Business License. It is also required to participate as a vendor in the Reno Antique Faire. You agree to these terms at checkout or filling out the application and submitting it to info@renoantiquefaire.com

We will submit your purchased permit on your behalf. The $20 permit fee is paid directly to the City of Reno in your name—we do not retain any portion of this fee.

• Purpose:

Allows vendors to operate legally for a short-term period during a city-approved special event and collect sales tax

• Who needs it:

Any vendor selling goods or services at a city event who does not have a valid City of Reno Business License. 

• How to apply:

Event promoters submit vendor lists and applications on behalf of vendors.

Key Considerations:

• Vendor Responsibility: Vendors are individually responsible for collecting sales tax and sales tax compliance. 

• Sales Tax Remittance: Vendors are responsible for reporting and remitting the sales tax they collect to the state, typically on a monthly or quarterly basis.

How to Find the Right Forms:

At the Reno Antique Faire, vendors are responsible for collecting and remitting sales tax, not the event organizers. All vendors must comply with Nevada sales and use tax laws, regardless of how often they participate.
Rules for temporary vendors
Your tax collection and reporting requirements depend on how frequently you sell at events in Nevada.

If you sell at two or more events in Nevada within a 12-month period, you are considered a regular retailer and must:
Obtain a permanent Nevada sales tax permit.
Collect the state and local sales tax on all sales.
File sales and use tax returns on a regular basis (e.g., monthly, quarterly, or annually), depending on your sales volume.
Sales tax rate in Reno
For all sales made in Reno, vendors must charge the combined state and local sales tax rate, which is currently 8.27%. This includes the state sales tax and the local tax rates for Washoe County.
Additional vendor requirements
In addition to sales tax, the Reno Antique Faire requires antique/vintage vendors to obtain either:
A valid City of Reno business license.
A $20 Seller's Day Permit for the event, which the Reno Antique Faire will submit to the city on your behalf.
