Seller’s Status

If you do not have a seller’s permit and are not an exempt or occasional seller you may not sell at these events. A temporary seller’s permit can be obtained at any local Board of Equalization office, at no cost to you. The business address on your temporary permit should be the address of the temporary selling location (4501 Pleasanton Ave, Pleasanton, CA 94566). The mailing address is your permanent place of business or residence.

Occasional sellers are persons who will not be making a series of sales sufficient in number, scope and character to constitute an activity requiring the holding of a seller’s permit. Occasional sellers typically include persons who have cleared out their garage of their own used items, and sell only those items.
