I am a Transient Merchant/Mobile Vendor. What kind of permit/approval do I need?

Transient merchants and mobile vendors must complete a “City of Burnsville Peddler, Solicitor, Transient Merchant & Mobile Vendor Registration Form.” Transient merchants who will be at a location for multiple days must first obtain a “Conditional Use Permit” from the City of Burnsville Planning Department. Mobile vendors must provide a “Certificate of Insurance” naming the City as an additional insured and provide a copy of a Minnesota Department of Health/Department of Agriculture license with their application (if serving food.) Refer to the Burnsville City Code or contact the Burnsville Police Department for coverage minimums. If catering a private outdoor residential event, mobile vendors also need a City “Block Party” permit. If catering a special event sponsored by a business or retail property, mobile vendors will also need a City “Special Event” permit. If operating in a City park, mobile vendors will also need a “Park Mobile Vending” permit.
