Where it applies

Written for the jurisdictions listed here.

Kings County, CACounty

Kings County Code chapter 15, article II, licenses peddlers, solicitors, hawkers and itinerant vendors, including vehicles selling food for immediate delivery, in the unincorporated county. Section 15-23: "Veterans. Upon the applicant providing appropriate proof to the license issuer, a license under this article shall be issued without payment of any fees to any honorably discharged veteran from any branch of the United States Armed Forces." (Ordinance 584, April 11, 2000.) The licence itself is still required, and so are the article's rules: a vendor may stay at one location on private property no more than two hours in a day, with the owner's permission, or fifteen minutes in a public right-of-way, then move at least 1,000 feet. The fee waiver mirrors Business and Professions Code section 16102, under which a veteran with an honourable discharge pays no local licence fee to sell goods the veteran owns; see the California entry.
