Peddlers conduct business by traveling on foot, selling food or other products. Peddler businesses are required to apply for a Sidewalk Vendors License administered by the Business Tax Division. Please contact the Business Tax Division at (510) 620-6742 or the Mobile Vendor Program at (510) 307-8000 for more information about the licensing process, or see the Peddler and Solicitors Chapter in the Richmond Municipal Code.
A food truck is not a peddler business. Food Trucks are permitted through an Administrative Use Permit processed by the Planning Division and must be stationed in one location.
