Vendor Licensing Survey

Brockton has seen an increase in events hosted throughout the year featuring local vendors, such as Summer Streetfest, Hometown Christmas Market, and two recent Homecomings. The Municipality has received more inquiries and requests for these types of licenses. 

Currently, the Municipality issues two types of vendor licenses under two (2) separate By-Laws:

1. Outdoor Vending/Refreshment Vehicle Licenses - For refreshment vehicles/food trucks and individuals selling goods/services outdoors on municipal property
2. Transient Trader Licensing - For individuals selling goods or services on an intermittent or one-time basis.

These two licenses follow different procedures and charge different fees. Staff are reviewing these two By-Laws in order to create one Vendor Licensing By-Law that provides more clarity on what should be allowed in Brockton, including the responsibilities of vendors, and the fees they should pay for a license.

We are seeking your feedback to improve this licensing process and incorporate your considerations into the development of the new By-Law.

Surveys will close on September 30, 2024 at 11:59 p.m.
