Q: I'm hired to provide children's party setups in Kenansville, Florida, with decorations, snow cone, cotton candy, and popcorn machines, and a photo booth. What vendor's permit do I need?
A: In Florida the vendor's permit is a sales tax certificate of registration, plus food and local approvals. Here is what a kids' party provider in Kenansville needs: 1. Sales tax certificate of registration 2. Federal tax ID number (EIN) for venues and suppliers 3. Food service or food vendor license for snow cones and cotton candy 4. Fictitious name registration for the party business 5. Liability insurance for machines and photo booth
