Special Event Sales Tax License

Visitors enjoy the Friends Craft Fair at Ketring Park, browsing handmade items beneath white tents. Crafts, art, and decorations are displayed on tables as people stroll across green grass under sunny skies and leafy trees.

Anyone selling an item in the City of Littleton is required to submit sales tax information per city ordinance. Event organizers are responsible for ensuring all vendors have obtained a sales tax license before the event takes place.

A sample Vendor Spreadsheet is available for download below and can be used to submit vendor information
