A. No person may engage in the temporary business of exhibiting, selling, and delivering goods, wares, services, tours or merchandise within the borough, whether alone, in association with, or in the name of a local dealer, merchant, or auctioneer, without first procuring a permit. The acquisition of the transient and itinerant merchant’s permit exempts the merchant from the requirement to obtain a business license.

B. An applicant for a transient and itinerant merchant’s permit shall include in the applicant’s application the following:

1. An accurate personal description;

2. The applicant’s permanent home and local address;

3. A brief description of the nature of the business and the goods to be sold, including the location(s) where the goods, wares, or merchandise will be sold, or services to be provided;

4. The name and address of the applicant’s employer;

5. The length of time the applicant desires to do business in the borough.

C. In addition to the nonrefundable permit fee of $25.00, the applicant shall post a $250.00 cash bond with the clerk, or a copy of a current certificate of bonding for at least $5,000. The $250.00 cash bond will be refundable upon payment to the borough of sales taxes collected.

D. This section may not be construed to authorize a person to solicit for sales or sell goods, wares, services, tours or merchandise in a residential area in violation of other provisions of the ordinances of the borough.
