About each permit
Sidewalk and Park Vending Permit
$27.51 a year, down from $541 — the Council cut it by ordinance effective 28 July 2024 after a fee study that excluded enforcement costs and took vendors' average income into account. It applies to merchandise and food vendors alike. A caveat on the source: the figure comes from the City's own announcement of the ordinance, because StreetsLA's current vending brochure carries no dollar amounts at all and no StreetsLA page restates it. Worth a phone call before you budget on it. It sits on top of the County health permit, not instead of it.
