Street vendor permits in Florin, CA — sometimes called sidewalk vendor licenses, mobile vendor permits, or peddler permits — are the licenses required to sell goods or food on public property.
California SB 946 (Government Code §51036 et seq.) decriminalizes sidewalk vending and limits local regulation. Sacramento County requires a sidewalk vending permit for both stationary and roaming vendors plus a separate Sacramento County EMD permit for food vending.
Local rules may regulate time, place, and manner but cannot prohibit sidewalk vending in residential or commercial zones generally. Vendors must keep pedestrian-clearance widths (typically 48 in), comply with health code for food sales, and cannot block driveways or transit stops. ICE Pinedo case (2020) and SB 972 (2022) further loosen restrictions on micro-enterprise food vendors. Cottage Food Class A is separate from sidewalk vending - selling baked goods from a cart still requires SB 946 compliance and EMD review.
Code Enforcement issues administrative citations - first offense typically $100, escalating to $250 then $500. Criminal penalties are not allowed under SB 946 except for repeated health-and-safety violations.
