Street vendor permits in Pomona, CA — sometimes called sidewalk vendor licenses, mobile vendor permits, or peddler permits — are the licenses required to sell goods or food on public property.
LA County's Sidewalk Vending Ordinance (adopted February 2024, effective August 2024) requires all vendors in unincorporated areas to register with the Department of Economic Opportunity for a Sidewalk Vending Registration Certificate (SVRC).
The LA County Board of Supervisors adopted the Sidewalk Vending Ordinance in February 2024, effective August 2024, marking the first formal vending program for unincorporated areas. All sidewalk vendors — both stationary and roaming — must obtain a Sidewalk Vending Registration Certificate (SVRC) from the Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO). The DEO waived the registration fee for the first year. Food vendors additionally need a Compact Mobile Food Operation (CMFO) permit from the Department of Public Health at up to 75% reduced rates. The program is administered through the East LA Entrepreneur Center. Vendors must display the SVRC prominently while operating. The ordinance establishes clear rules for distancing, hours of operation, waste disposal, and ADA compliance.
First violation: written warning. Second violation within 12 months: $100 fine. Third violation: $200 fine. Fourth and subsequent: $500 fine. Equipment may be impounded for repeated violations.
