§ 27-17-162. Flea market vendors.

In any county having a total assessed valuation in 1985 of more than Forty-seven Million Four Hundred Thirty-nine Thousand Dollars ($47,439,000.00) but less than Forty-seven Million Four Hundred Forty Thousand Dollars ($47,440,000.00) and a population according to the 1980 federal census of more than eighteen thousand seven hundred (18,700) but less than eighteen thousand seven hundred fifty (18,750), upon each person who is engaging in the business of selling goods at a flea market and who is required to file a state sales tax return on such business, there is hereby levied a tax of Twenty-five Dollars ($25.00) for an annual license. In lieu of paying the annual tax and obtaining an annual license, the vendor may, or before the date of the flea market at which he tenders his goods for sale, pay a tax at the pro rata annual rate based on the proportion that a single flea market bears to the total number of regularly scheduled flea markets to be held during the calendar year in the county or municipality. The tax collector shall issue a temporary license to the vendor upon receipt of the tax at the pro rata annual rate. The temporary license shall be valid for a single flea market held on one (1) day or consecutive days. The tax collector of each county and municipality having regularly scheduled flea markets in a calendar year shall prescribe the procedure for the issuance of temporary licenses under this section.
