A. As used in this section, the following terms shall have the meanings
indicated:
FLEA MARKET - An assembly of vendors, selling new or used goods
in the open air or
within temporary structures, who display and sell their wares on the lands of another for a
consideration.
B. Every vendor who is engaged in the sale or display of goods at a flea market
shall be
required to purchase a license and display the license in a prominent place visible to the public.
For every license to sell or display antiques or used or second-hand goods at a flea market, there
shall be paid a license tax of ten dollars ($10.) per year or one dollar ($1.) per day. Every
vendor
of new goods at the flea market shall be deemed a "peddler" or "itinerant merchant"
and shall pay
such license tax as is applicable to peddlers under the provisions of Section 98-61. Such
license
taxes shall not be prorated. Upon application to and approval by the Town Council, no license
shall be required of a nonprofit organization that sells or displays goods at a flea market so long
as the proceeds of sale are retained by the nonprofit organization and not shared with other
persons, businesses or organizations. The following regulations shall govern the conduct
of flea
markets:
1. Goods and wares may be left on premises on Saturday nights only and on Sunday night if
Monday is a holiday.
2. A night watchman may be allowed on weekends.
3. No overnight trailers are allowed.
4. The owner or lessee of the premises shall keep the
flea market grounds clean and free of
refuse and shall provide trash containers in sufficient numbers to serve the customers and
vendors on the flea market site.
5. The owner or lessee of the premises shall rent no
space to any flea market vendor, except
those representing nonprofit organizations, unless the vendor first produces a valid and current
license issued by the Town of Front Royal or a daily license permit for the sale and display of
goods at a flea market.
