Mobile Vendors
Mobile Vendors are required to have a current Lake Saint Louis license.
Daily license - The business license fee is $10/day operating as a “Transient Merchant”.
Annual license - The other option you have is to pay annually for a “Merchant” business license, the annual fee is based on the number of employees. Annual business licenses run from July 1st - June 30th (our fiscal year).
