Title 5 - Business Licenses and Regulations

5.70 Transient Merchants¹

1.
See also the Transient Merchant Licensing Act at K.S.A. 19.2231 et seq. (as may be amended) for statutory provisions regarding the licensing and regulation of transient merchants by the State and County.

A.
A license may be issued only upon completion of the application and payment of fees. The application shall be reviewed to confirm that the applicant complies with the requirements of this Chapter and that the applicant is not proposing to operate in violation of the prohibited acts stated in this Chapter or in violation of any federal, state, or local law.
B.
No license shall be issued to any Transient Merchant for the operation of any temporary business or activity at a location for which a license has been previously issued unless the prior license expired at least ninety (90) days before the present application.
C.
The issuance of a license shall not constitute approval of the business or activity or otherwise prohibit enforcement of this Chapter or any other laws, city code or regulations.
D.
If a license is not issued, the City Clerk’s office shall indicate in writing the reason for denial and inform the applicant of the applicant’s right to an appeal of the denial.
E.
The license shall be revoked if the applicant fails to provide true and correct information on the application or upon a violation of any provision of this Chapter or any city code or regulation applicable or related to the license. Revocation may be appealed in the same manner as a denied application; however, any appeal taken from an order revoking the license shall not suspend the order of revocation during the pendency of the appeal.
