YOU MUST ANSWER THE FOLLOWING INSURANCE RELATED QUESTIONS

The Rotary Club of Thousand Oaks does NOT provide liability or property insurance coverage for vendors. Claims resulting from actions by a vendor or incidents related to a vendor's booth are the liability of that vendor.

• IMPORTANT- SELLER PERMIT REQUIRED IF SELLING ITEMS (If not selling, no permit needed): The California State Board of Equalization (BOE) requires that prior to being assigned a vendor space, vendors who sell tangible items/personal property subject to sales tax at events throughout California must obtain a seller's permit and pay sales tax on items sold. The permit is FREE and can be instantaneously received from the BOE web site. Failure to comply is punishable by fine and/or imprisonment. The Rotary Club of Thousand Oaks is required to obtain evidence of a permit from you which you fill in within the Street Fair application form. The Rotary Club is required to provide the BOE this evidence within 30 days of a BOE request. You can register for a "Temporary Seller's Permit" at https://www.boe.ca.gov/. Refer to the Example on the Street Fair website for helpful instructions on how to complete the BOE permit application. You may also visit a BOE office or call 800-400-7115 to register. Sellers are required by law to post the permit in their booths. There are permit exemptions for certain "sellers". The exemption, if you qualify, must be noted on the Street Fair application form.
