You may not sell at our events unless you have a seller's permit or are not required to hold a permit. You MUST have a permit if you are selling, even temporarily, new or used items that you purchased for the purpose of reselling to others, or if you plan to sell items on a regular basis. However, you are not required to hold a permit if you are only making "occasional" sales (no more than twice in a 12-month period), and are only selling items that you have accumulated for your own use (for example, if you are clearing out your garage of your old tools and spare parts).
Contact the West Covina office of the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration at (626) 480-7200 or visit their website at www.cdtfa.ca.gov.
If you are an occasional seller, you are not required to hold a seller's permit. Occasional sellers typically include persons who have cleared out their garage of their own used items and sell only those items, provided they make sales no more than twice in a 12-month period. Instead of having a permit, we'll need you to complete the State of California's Swap Meet Certification form (CDTFA-410-D) to certify your status as an occasional seller. Call us at 714-538-7091 if you're an occasional seller.
If you have additional questions, please don't hesitate to call (714) 538-7091 or use our Contact Us form and a swap crew member will glady answer your questions.
