What is Application for Temporary Vendor Special Event Permit – Murrieta, CA?
The Application for Temporary Vendor Special Event Permit is the City of Murrieta form that a temporary vendor completes to participate in a special event in Murrieta, submitted through the event organizer together with any attachments and the permit fee.
The form collects the business name or DBA, the applicant's name, mailing address, phone and email, the Murrieta business license number and expiration date if one applies, a description of the product sold or service provided, and the event name and dates. It also lists categories of products and services, such as sales of alcohol, tobacco, firearms or massage, that require a City of Murrieta Business License Application in addition to this form.
A permit fee applies per day of the event, with a maximum per event, and it is non-refundable. No additional fee is collected when the vendor gives a current Murrieta business license number and expiration date or provides documentation of 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status; the form must still be completed in both cases.
The organizer must be able to display or disclose the permit receipt or a list of all vendors to City of Murrieta agents or officers, or other government agencies, on the day(s) of the event. By signing, the applicant agrees that any falsification, misstatement or omission, including about the location and goods to be sold, results in immediate revocation of the permit and forfeiture of the right to operate within Murrieta city limits.
This form is a special event permit. It does not replace the business license that the city's business licensing page requires of anyone engaging in business within city limits.
Who needs to file Application for Temporary Vendor Special Event Permit – Murrieta, CA?
Temporary vendors who will sell products or provide services at a special event in Murrieta complete this form, one for each vendor taking part. The event organizer collects the forms and submits them to the city as one package.
- Vendors with a Murrieta business license: provide the license number and expiration date. No additional permit fee is collected if the information is current, but you still complete the form.
- Tax-exempt groups: if your organization or group is tax-exempt under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, provide a copy of your documentation. No additional permit fee is collected, and the form is still required.
- Vendors in listed categories: if your product or service involves one of the categories printed on the form, a City of Murrieta Business License Application is required in addition, and other department approvals may be needed.
- Vendors based in or operating year-round in Murrieta: the form says that a business located inside city limits, or one that provides sales or services inside city limits throughout the year, may need additional licensing.
All vendors at an event must also complete the CDTFA-410D verification form from the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration. The permit covers temporary vendors at special events only.
When to file Application for Temporary Vendor Special Event Permit – Murrieta, CA
The event organizer must submit the complete vendor package at least seven (7) days before the event. Late submittals incur a late fee charged per vendor per day; the form prints the rate.
Because the organizer sends everything in one packet, each vendor should give a completed form, attachments and payment to the organizer ahead of that date. The form sets no earlier vendor deadline, so ask the organizer for theirs.
The permit is requested by the number of days you will take part in the event. The form prints a per-day fee and a maximum per event. It has no renewal cycle: it applies to the event named on the application.
Documents you need
- CDTFA-410D verification form from the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration: all vendors participating in an event in Murrieta must complete and submit it with this form.
