Alcohol Catering Permit

$69.00
sold out

This permit is only required if you do not already have liscense that allows you to serve alchol off premis of your establishment (catering). It is also required to participate as a vendor in the Reno Antique Faire. Alchol vendors purchases will be submitted to the NNPH and if they are not cleared with the proper licensing, vendors will be refunded or charged the $69.00 fee before event start date.

Vendors serving alcohol who have the proper licensing do not need to add this fee to their purchase, but must send their City of Reno Business License number along with the Health Permit number to info@renoantiquefaire.com if not already on file.

We will submit your purchased permit on your behalf. The $69 permit fee is paid directly to the City of Reno in your name—we do not retain any portion of this fee.

Mobile trucks selling alcohol in Nevada need specific licensing, typically an Alcoholic Beverage Caterer's License from the city/county, plus health permits and a seller's permit, as liquor licenses are local, not state-issued, allowing off-premise sales at events. You must apply to your specific county (Washoe) or city, meet their health requirements (like using an approved commissary in Washoe), and have a valid business license to serve drinks at events.

Key Steps & Requirements:

Local Liquor License: Contact the Business License Department for the specific city/county where you'll operate (Reno) to get a Caterer's License.

Health Permit: You'll need a valid Health Permit from the local health district (Northern Nevada Public Health for Washoe County).

Business License & Seller's Permit: Obtain general business licenses and a Nevada Seller's Permit from the Nevada Department of Taxation for sales tax.

Catering Permit: For each event, you'll need a specific permit, requiring advance notice. If you do not have this permit, the permit listed here is $69.00 per event and will be submitted on your behalf.

If alcohol vendors are also out of state but have all permits necessary (i.e health, catering, sellers) you will still need to purchase the Temporary Sellers Permit available on our website as well. Please see that permit page for more information.

*Vendors are responsible for compliance with all applicable resale and other license requirements, as well as collection of all sales taxes, and shall hold Faire Operator harmless for any regulatory breach*

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.


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.
