PALM BEACH COUNTY ROADSIDE VENDORS PROGRAM (2018)
STEPS TO ACQUIRE A PALM BEACH COUNTY ROADSIDE VENDOR PERMIT
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Please note the following steps apply only to Roadside Vendor Permits for vending from a specific location
on the side of a County road in the unincorporated area of the County.
The Roadside Vendors Ordinance (RVO) contains the information needed to acquire a Roadside Vendor
Permit. The only products that may be sold are prepared foods, flowers, plants or produce. Review the entire
Ordinance carefully before applying for a Permit.
1. Obtain a Roadside Vending Package ONLY from Engineering/Traffic, at 2300 Jog Road, 3
rd
Floor,
West Palm Beach, FL 33411. (This package includes a copy of the RVO, an Application for Permit,
a Wait List Application, an example of the Roadside Vendor Performance Bond, Violation Point
Assignments, a list of current permits, a list of locations reviewed that failed to meet Ordinance
specifications, and other useful information. Please refer to Exhibits 1 through 5 attached to this
package.)
Vending office hours are, by appointment only, between 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon and from 1:00
p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Please call (561) 684-4030 to make an appointment.
Information can be obtained by visiting the Traffic Division website at:
http://discover.pbcgov.org/engineering/traffic/Pages/Roadside_Vendor.aspx
.
All other vendor permits can be found at Palm Beach County Zoning Division website at:
http://discover.pbcgov.org/pzb/zoning/pdf/specialpermit.pdf
. They can be reached by calling 561-
233-5200.
2. Select a vending location that meets all the criteria specified in the RVO. Call or make an appointment
to confirm that the location complies with the ordinance specifications.
3. Submit completed, signed Application for Permit to Engineering/Traffic along with $100.00
application fee. Please make checks payable to Palm Beach County Board of County
Commissioners.
4. Once the location has been approved, you will be issued an Intent to Permit. You will have twenty
(20) business days from issue date to obtain all of the required paperwork (step 5) and return for the
actual Permit. If intent to permit expires, location becomes available for other vendors.
5. Obtain the following documents (from the sources listed on the reverse side), issued to exactly the
same name as what is shown on the Intent to Permit. Please note, no Permit will be issued until all
correct documents are received.
a) Hotel & Restaurant License (for Prepared Foods only)
b) Original Certificate of Insurance:
1. specifying vending location covered
2. naming Palm Beach County as both additional insured and certificate holder
3. for minimum of $500,000.00 general liability coverage
4. for coverage through (or beyond) permit year
c) Performance Bond (see example on page 7) in minimum amount of $2,000.00
d) Receipt showing payment in full for liability insurance coverage and bond
e) A current Florida Annual Resale Certificate showing Palm Beach County Sales Tax ID
Number (not needed for Produce)
f) A current Palm Beach County Local Business Tax Receipt (previously called
“Occupational License”) with vending location and product category (food vendors must
show food license and our “Intent to Permit” form when applying for Local Business Tax
Receipt)
6. All required documents must be submitted for review and approval prior to making an appointment.
Submittals can be scanned, faxed, or mailed. No original documents will be accepted at this time.
After the review process has been completed and approved, call for an appointment and bring the
required original documents in at that time.
7. Call 561-684-4030 for an appointment at Traffic Engineering with the required original documents
prior to expiration of Intent to Permit. Pay annual permit fee ($250/year, $150 after July 1).
Receive Permit and permit plate. Please make checks payable to Palm Beach County Board of
County Commissioners.

WAIT LIST POLICY
1. The Palm Beach County Roadside Vendor Wait List policy applies only to vending locations currently
permitted to another Business Entity. A separate Wait List Application and fee must be submitted for
each such location desired by an applicant. Each Wait List is effective from March 1 thru February
28. Previous Wait List Applications will not be automatically renewed on March 1. Therefore, a new
application form and fee must be submitted if the given location is still desired beyond February 28.
2. Applicants must apply in writing on this form. Applications may be submitted in person, or by mail.
The Applicant Name(s) must be the same name(s) under which both the Intent to Permit and the Permit
itself are to be issued. (Note - since original signature(s) are required, the original must be mailed or
delivered to Palm Beach County Engineering/Traffic, at 2300 North Jog Road, 3
rd
floor, West Palm
Beach, FL 33411. Please make checks payable to Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners.
Application is not eligible for processing until the original paperwork & fee has been received. It is your
responsibility to keep Palm Beach County Engineering informed, in writing, of your current mailing
address and phone number(s). No Wait List applications or phone/address changes will be
accepted by phone, fax, or e-mail.
3. A single Business Entity may have a maximum of six (6) Wait List Applications pending at any given
time. These may be a combination of relocation and/or new applications. However, a maximum of three
(3) of these can be for the relocation of any given permit.
4. The Wait List for any given location is maintained by priority, based on application type (relocation or
new permit) and seniority. All relocation applications for a given location will be processed before any
“new permit” applications for that same location.
5. For relocation applications, priority will be based on the seniority date of the permit being relocated. This
is the earliest date on record with Engineering for continuous active status for that permit.
6. For “new permit” applications, priority will be based on the date and time the Wait List Application is
received by this office.
7. Once a location becomes available, the Wait List for that location is "frozen". We will process the list
by priority. We will contact the first applicant on the Wait List once a day for one week during business
hours (Monday through Friday, 8:00 am - 4:00 pm). If that applicant fails to return a message, refuses
the location, or cannot be reached within that week, we will proceed to the next applicant. Once the list
has been exhausted, we will then process any Wait List for that location established since the exhausted
list was frozen. Once all Wait Lists for a given location are exhausted, that location becomes available
to the next person requesting it.
8. If you have any questions concerning your application or the Wait List process, please contact Vendor
Compliance Officer at (561) 684-4030. Vendor office hours by appointment only.

the street as) a residence, unless there is an intervening easement or right-of-way (e.g., a canal)
separating the location from the residence.
d. Within five hundred (500) feet of an established ongoing legally zoned business selling similar
commodities. Except that an ongoing legally existing business which complies with all applicable

residences are exempt from this restriction.
j. On areas of right-of-way where shoulders are used for designated parking abutting County parks.
Current permittees located on areas covered by this provision may renew their permit for these
locations provided the permittee remains the same, there is no change in product category, the
location does not become ineligible and all other criteria are met. Under no circumstances will these
locations be available for anyone other than the permittee holding the permit for these locations as
of the effective date of this article.
k. Unable to accommodate the maximum total vending area of operation as provided in subsections
23-104(16) and (17).
(2) The Engineering Department shall only approve locations:

d. With adequate sight distance and parking area to ensure safe vending operation with respect to
normal movement of traffic in relation to the location on the right-of-way.
(3) If, after a permit has been issued, a location becomes ineligible due to changes including, but not limited
to, traffic flow, storage, curbing, signalization, speed limits, development, pathways, sidewalks or
municipal boundaries, the permit must be relocated. If the location conflicts with any construction,
reconstruction, or any project performed or permitted by the county or its authorized representative(s)
which is in the interest of the public, the permit is suspended for the duration of the conflict and may be
relocated.
(Ord. No. 97-40, § 5, 10-21-97; Ord. No. 08-039, § 1, 9-9-08)

(sometimes referred to as the gluteus maximus) which lies between two (2) imaginary straight lines running
parallel to the ground when a person is standing, the first or top such line being one-half (½) inch below the top of
the vertical cleavage of the nates (i.e., the prominence formed by the muscles running from the back of the hip to
the back of the leg) and the second or bottom such line being one-half (½) inch above the lowest point of the
curvature of the fleshy protuberance (sometimes referred to as the gluteal fold), and between two (2) imaginary

The County Engineer or his duly authorized representative(s) may issue a violation if any county road, right-
of-way, sidewalk, bike path or pathway is damaged or impaired in any way because of operation of a vending
location pursuant to this article. The permittee must contact the engineering department within three (3) business
days of notification of violation to coordinate necessary repairs.
If contact is not made within the designated time frame, the County shall undertake the necessary repairs
and the permittee shall be responsible, either by direct payment or from posted surety, for all costs incurred by
the Engineering Department. If full payment is not received by the specified date, the permit shall be suspended
until full payment is received. No renewals shall be issued to a business entity who has any unpaid fees and/or
bills.
It is a violation of this article to vend with a suspended permit.
(Ord. No. 97-40, § 11, 10-21-97)
Sec. 23-107. - County-mandated relocation.
(a) Any permit issued under this article shall not constitute nor be construed as permitting a permanent location.
Each permit is subject to the County's right to use the right-of-way at any time for roadway or other valid
public purpose, including but not limited to, construction, reconstruction, or project performed or permitted by
the County or its authorized representative(s) which is deemed to be in the interest of the general public.
(b) Any permit issued under this article shall be relocated if the vending location or permit is in conflict with state
statutes or county ordinances, or if the permit was issued in error.
(c) Any permit issued under this article shall be relocated if site changes impact the availability of the location.
Such site changes include, but are not limited to, changes in traffic flow, storage, curbing, signalization, speed
limits, development, pathways, sidewalks and municipal boundaries.
(d) The vendor may be required to cease vending within twenty-four (24) hours of notice by the engineering
department of county-mandated relocation. To relocate, permittee must submit an application for permit with
a new location request. No application fee shall be charged. However, if a requested location does not meet
the requirements of this article, the location evaluation fee shall apply to each alternate location requested.
(e) In the event two (2) or more permittees are required to relocate, priority for a new location shall be based on
permit seniority date. Permit seniority date is the earliest date available on record with the Engineering
Department for continuous active status for that permit.
(Ord. No. 97-40, § 12, 10-21-97)
Sec. 23-108. - Voluntary relocation.
A permittee may request relocation of his/her current permit by submitting either an application for permit or
a wait list application with applicable fees. Any application for voluntary relocation shall be subject to the same
review as a new application.
(Ord. No. 97-40, § 13, 10-21-97; Ord. No. 08-039, § 1, 9-9-08)
Sec. 23-109. - Renewal of permit.

the permit. Vending with an expired permit is a violation of this article.
(b) To renew a permit, the applicant must submit the renewal application fee, an application for permit and all
necessary documentation showing continuing compliance with all provisions of this article. The Engineering
Department shall evaluate the continuing availability of the location. Once a location is approved, the
applicant must also submit the annual permit fee.
(c) The right to renew at an existing location expires at the close of business of the tenth business day after the
permit expiration date. If permittee has not completed the renewal process by then, the permit shall be
considered surrendered. Permit seniority will be lost and the location will become available to others.
(Ord. No. 97-40, § 14, 10-21-97; Ord. No. 08-039, § 1, 9-9-08; Ord. No. 2015-034 , § 1, 9-22-15)
Sec. 23-110. - Revocation of permit.
(a) Permits may be revoked by the Engineering Department for failure to meet any provisions of this article, any
other County ordinances, state statutes or federal laws. Vendors are expected to comply with all rules and
regulations. Permittees may be held accountable for actions of their employees. Grounds for revocation
include, but are not limited to the following:
(1) Procurement of a permit through fraud, misrepresentation, false or misleading statements.
(2) Failure to comply with any conditions of permit.
(3) Vending without a fully opaque covering so that no portion of the male or female genitals, pubic area,

(b) A point system is established for each violation offense. A list of offenses and their point assignments,
attached to Ord. No. 08-039 as Exhibit A and incorporated herein, shall be issued with each permit. An
accumulation of ten (10) points within any twenty-four-month period shall result in revocation of that permit.
All accumulated points for a given permit shall be cleared if no additional points are assigned on that permit
for a twelve-month period. Once the accumulated points have been cleared, the next offense in a particular
category shall be treated as a first offense. Points are cumulative for a given permit. If a business entity has
two (2) permits, points are tallied separately for each.
(c) A violation report shall be issued and shall include the permit number, name of permittee, time and date,
location, name of individual vending and nature of violation(s), as well as required corrective action, if any. A
copy of the report shall be given to the individual vending at the site. The original shall be maintained on file
at the Engineering Department. This report shall indicate all violations observed. Points shall only be
assigned for the highest violation cited at any given time. However, subsequent occurrences of any of the
cited violations shall be assigned points for subsequent (not first) occurrences. A copy of the violation report
and a statement of points assigned, both current and cumulative, shall be mailed return receipt requested to
the permittee at the physical address on record. If the cumulative total is ten (10) points or more, the
statement shall include official notification of revocation of the permit. Revocation shall be effective upon the
fifth day after mailing this notice to the last known address for permittee on record.
(d) Once a permit has been revoked, both the permit and the permit plate must be surrendered to the Engineering
Department. This must be done even in instances where permittee intends to appeal revocation. The County
Engineer or his duly authorized representative(s) may request both permit and permit plate at time of
violation. If not, it is the permittee's responsibility to surrender both, either in person or by mail, to the
Engineering Department. Failure or refusal to do so after notification of revocation shall subject permittee to
penalties provided herein.
(e) When a permit is revoked, the current number of allowable permits for that business entity is decreased by
one (1). This decrease remains in effect for a period of two (2) years from the date of revocation. At the end
of two (2) years, the number of allowable permits shall be increased by one (1).
(f) A modified revocation will occur in cases where a permit has been issued in error including, but not limited
to, on private, state or municipal roads, roads with insufficient right-of-way, within a municipality, abutting a
residence, adjacent to a sidewalk or bike path. A modified revocation means that vending must cease
immediately, but no points are assigned nor is the number of allowable permits for this business entity
decreased. Engineering staff shall assist the permittee with relocation, if requested. No additional fees shall
be charged. If the permittee decides to surrender the permit a pro-rated portion of the annual permit fee shall
be refunded, upon request.
(Ord. No. 97-40, § 15, 10-21-97; Ord. No. 08-039, § 1, 9-9-08)

denial or revocation, the permit shall be issued or reinstated. All parties shall bear their own costs and
expenses of such proceedings and no damages shall be compensable as a result of any county action
hereunder.
(b) The appeal process for a violation is as follows: The permittee shall submit to the engineering department
within seven (7) working days the notice of violation, a notice of appeal, a statement setting forth the grounds
for appeal and all allegations as to why the violation(s) should not be cited. The decision of the county

Sec. 23-112. - Limited exemptions.
(a) All vending locations permitted upon adoption of this article are exempt from the location criteria for residential
proximity on two-lane roads, and proximity to places of worship, schools and day care facilities. Permits
issued at these exempt locations may be renewed each year, provided there is no change in the permittee
or product category, the location has not become ineligible, and all other criteria are met. Under no
circumstances will new permits issued after the effective date of this article be allowed at the exempt
locations.
(b) At locations with multiple permits, the two permits with the earliest permit seniority date are exempt from
criteria limiting the number of permits per location to one. Other permits at these exempt locations shall be
required to relocate within ten (10) days of the effective date of this article. These required relocations shall
be exempt from the location criteria specified above in subsection (a). These exempt permits may be renewed
each year, provided there is no change in the permittee, vending location or product category, the location
has not become ineligible and all other criteria are met. Both exempt permits must be surrendered, relocated
or revoked before new permits can be issued at these vending locations.
