BUSINESS LICENSE AND RESALE PERMIT INFO
The Town of Quartzsite requires a vendor permit for all exhibitors, regardless of whether you are selling retail of simply displaying. The vendor license fee is $50.00 and is valid through June 30th. I have included a copy of their form with this move-in package. You will also be required to have a valid resale permit for the state of Arizona if you are selling retail. (The sales tax rate in Quartzsite for 2010 is 9.1%) This permit is $42.00. (Info supplied by the town is incorrect. Fee went up from $14 to $42) You can call 928-927-4333 and request a form be mailed. Neither of these permit costs are included in your exhibit fee. If you are a food related exhibitor, you can contact the La Paz County Health Department at 928-669-1100 for information and regulations. If you are a food concession you must also contact the QZFD @ 928-927-6556 . Contact QZFD first.
If you prefer, you can wait until you arrive in Quartzsite and then go over to the Town Hall and wait in a long line to take care of these necessary licensing requirements however I recommend that you take care of it beforehand. They will be at the show to check for permits.
You will find a lot of additional information and related links at our web site www.quartzsitervshow.com. Look on the menu bar under “Quartzsite“ and you’ll see “QZ Vendor License Info”.
