What is SW2?

Form SW2, Additional Location Application, is the City of Sacramento form on which a stationary sidewalk vendor lists up to three additional vending locations. The form says it is to be used with your Sidewalk Vendor Information Sheet.

The City of Sacramento Finance Department, Revenue Division, issues it as part of the city's special business permits. The city's Business Permits and Taxes page lists sidewalk vending among those permits and shows a separate fee line for a stationary additional location.

The form has three sections. Section One asks for the business or applicant name. Section Two has room for three numbered locations; for each one you give the vending address (or nearest address), a location description such as a corner, whether the site is in a public park, the total width of the sidewalk or path, how much sidewalk remains with the cart present, and whether you plan late night vending operation. Section Three is the signature and date.

The form carries a reminder that vending is not permitted within 600 feet of a permitted entertainment venue. It is not a business license or a Business Operations Tax (BOT) Certificate; it only adds locations to a stationary sidewalk vending application.

Who needs to file SW2?

Stationary sidewalk vendors in the City of Sacramento who want to add locations beyond the one on their Sidewalk Vendor Information Sheet use Form SW2. One form holds up to three additional locations.

Conditions printed on the form:

  • It is to be used with your Sidewalk Vendor Information Sheet, not on its own.
  • Each location needs a photo or drawing of the vending site showing where the cart will be during vending hours, because all stationary permit applications must include one.
  • Vending is not permitted within 600 feet of a permitted entertainment venue, so a site near one cannot be listed for vending.

The form is titled for stationary sidewalk vendors. It names no representative or other person who may sign; the Signature line in Section Three is for the applicant. Questions about eligibility go to the Revenue Division at the contact details printed on the form.

When to file SW2

Submit Form SW2 when you add locations to your stationary sidewalk vending application: the form says it is used with your Sidewalk Vendor Information Sheet to add up to three additional locations. No separate due date is printed on it, so it travels with that application.

Have the vending addresses, sidewalk measurements and a photo or drawing of each site ready before you start, since the form requires them for every location. For current permit fees, forms and timing questions, contact the Revenue Division at 916-808-8500 or [email protected]. Phone hours listed by the city are Monday through Thursday 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Friday 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
