About each permit

Trader's License

Issued through the Circuit Court, not city hall. Exempt: growers/manufacturers selling their own goods; restaurants where non-food items are 10% or less of annual sales; small exhibitors under 3 shows/year. These are Baltimore-specific tiers, distinct from the flat statewide-minimum trader's license structure other Maryland counties use.
