Itinerant Vendor Ordinance in Effect

The City of Sallisaw recently adopted a new Itinerant Vendor ordinance for vendors who engage in a temporary business within the city limits.

The new ordinance applies to transient or Itinerant vendors who engage in a temporary business of selling and delivering goods, wares and merchandise within the City of Sallisaw.

The city defines an itinerant vendor as follows:

- An Itinerant vendor is defined as any person, whether as owner, agent, consignee or employee, whether a resident of the city or not, who engages in a temporary business of selling and delivering goods, wares and merchandise within the city.

The exceptions, or those not considered itinerant vendors, are those engaging in garage sales, sales of non-profit entities or organizations, special event vendors or special events, and those selling handcrafted furniture, artworks, crafts, fruits, vegetables and food products at the Farmers Market.
