Regular vendor’s licenses can be obtained on the website of Ohio Business Gateway or at the County Auditor’s Office. If questions while using the Ohio Business Gateway, please call 1-888-405-4039. The application fee is $25.00.
Vendor’s Licenses are only transferable if you change the physical location of your business within the same county. If you move your business to another county, change your name, incorporate or add a partner, a new vendor’s license is required. If you change your trade name or d.b.a. name, a new license is not required.
A vendor’s license can be cancelled by completing the appropriate information on a final Ohio sales tax return indicating the last day of business.
Transient licenses for vendors who transport stocks or goods to temporary places of business in order to make sales must be obtained through the State of Ohio. For more information about a transient license, please call 1-888-405-4039.
