SPECIAL EVENT VENDOR POLICY
The City of San Luis Obispo Vendor Policy establishes the collection of fees for vendors participating in city-
wide special events. The vendor fees provide authorization for each vendor to participate at a special event in
the City of San Luis Obispo without purchasing a business license. NOTE: Vendors who have purchased a
current City of San Luis Obispo Business License are exempt from the vendor fees if a copy of the license is
provided. Vendor fees are applicable to each vendor participating in an event without a current business
license for the City of San Luis Obispo. The City of San Luis Obispo offers two types of vendor payment options
to event sponsors.
Please complete this form by (1) selecting a Vendor Payment Option, (2) sign and date where indicated, and
(3) return to the Parks & Recreation Department with the Special Event Permit Application.
VENDOR PAYMENT OPTIONS (SELECT ONE):
10% OPTION: This option offers a vendor fee of 10% of the gross sales of each vendor participating in the
event. Sponsor is responsible for collecting the amount due from all participating vendors and submitting
one payment for the total collected. All vendor fees and/or copies of City of San Luis Obispo Business
Licenses (for vendors exempt from required fees) must be submitted to Parks & Recreation Department no
later than 30 days after the event. A Vendor’s Report of Income form is available upon request to assist
you with notifying each participant of the required fee. A list of all participating vendors must be
submitted to the Parks and Recreation Department no later than one week prior to the event.
$20.00/BOOTH OPTION: This option offers a vendor fee of a flat rate of $20.00 per day for each vendor
participating in the event. A list of all participating vendors and payment in full of the total vendor fees
due must be submitted to the Parks & Recreation Department no later than 30 days after the event.
I have read and understand the Vendor Policy and payment options available to me. In selecting the 10%
Option or the $20.00/Booth Option I agree to accept the responsibility of collecting and forwarding all vendor
fees to the Parks & Recreation Department by the required due dates. In selecting either of the Options listed
above, I understand that all vendors named on the list of participating vendors are authorized to sell at the
approved special event. I further understand that should I fail to return this form to the Parks & Recreation
Department, the event sponsor will be required to pay one week prior to the event a fee of $20.00 per day for
each vendor participating in the event.
