About each permit
Peddler, Solicitor and Itinerant Vendor License
Any person engaged in peddling, soliciting, or acting as an itinerant vendor in Prince William County, including a mobile food vendor, must hold this license from the Police Department's Administrative Services Bureau, Licensing Section, confirmed as a requirement for food trucks by the county's own Mobile Food Vendor Policy Requirements document. The standard license costs a $20 application/processing fee plus a $5,000 cash or corporate surety bond under PWC Code §18-20; a person coordinating an event with five or more vendors instead needs an Event Sponsor Permit backed by a $15,000 surety bond under PWC Code §18-18. Issuance follows a police background check plus sign-offs from the Health Department, Zoning Administration, and Finance/Tax Administration. This license is separate from, and layered on top of, the $500 flat-fee Peddlers BPOL business license recorded as a separate requirement; neither substitutes for the other.
