Street vendor permits in Jurupa Valley, 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 (Safe Sidewalk Vending Act, 2019) restricts Riverside County's ability to prohibit sidewalk vending. The county adopted Ordinance No. 875 implementing SB 946, requiring a sidewalk vending permit, health permit (for food), and compliance with sanitary and zoning rules.
California Senate Bill 946 (2019), codified at Government Code §51036-51039, decriminalized sidewalk vending and limited local regulation to health, safety, and welfare concerns. Riverside County implemented SB 946 through Ordinance No. 875, which establishes a sidewalk vendor permit program administered by the Planning Department. Vendors must obtain: (1) a county sidewalk vending permit ($100-$200 annually), (2) a Riverside County Department of Environmental Health permit if selling food ($300-$600 for mobile food facility), (3) a California seller's permit for sales tax, and (4) a business license. Food vendors must operate from a certified commissary and comply with California Retail Food Code. Regulations must be the least restrictive necessary — outright bans, time-zone-manner restrictions without health justification, and criminal penalties are prohibited under SB 946. Violations are infractions with fines capped at $100 first offense, $200 second, $500 subsequent, and cannot impose a criminal record. Vendors may not block ADA access or fire lanes.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Riverside County code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
