3 rules for unincorporated Loudoun County, Virginia.
Verified from official government sources
Businesses selling goods in Loudoun County must obtain a Business, Professional, and Occupational License (BPOL) from the Commissioner of the Revenue. However, the Board of Supervisors approved a BPOL exemption for itinerant vendors at special events lasting 7 days or fewer. Food vendors must separately obtain temporary food permits from the Health Department.
Loudoun County does not designate formal street vending zones like urban jurisdictions. Commercial vending is governed by zoning district regulations. Most organized vending occurs at farmers markets, community events, and commercial developments. Ashburn's master-planned communities often designate commercial areas (One Loudoun, Ashburn Village) where vendor activity concentrates.
Loudoun County does not have a specific vending cart ordinance. Mobile food carts and vending carts are regulated through BPOL licensing, Health Department food permits (for food carts), and zoning restrictions on commercial activity locations. Food carts at events are covered under the temporary food establishment permit process.
