Who must obtain a vendor’s license?
Every Ohio retailer (vendor) making taxable retail sales must obtain a vendor’s license, collect sales tax, file tax returns with payment of tax collected, and maintain complete records of transactions.
Types of Vendor’s Licenses
There are two types of Vendor's Licenses - Regular and Transient (Transient Licenses can ONLY be purchased through the State of Ohio)
Regular/County Vendor’s License is the only vendor’s license issued by the Stark County Auditor Office and is required to sell products at a fixed place of business within the county. Vendors with multiple locations must obtain one regular vendor’s license for each fixed sales location. The application fee is $50.00, and there is no annual renewal fee.
