To obtain an annual permit, the applicant will need to complete a Sidewalk Vendor permit application and provide the Town with supporting documentation as required by Town Municipal Code Section 14.70.

HOW TO APPLY FOR A TOWN PARK VENDOR PERMIT

Applicants must fill out the Town Park Vendor Permit Application and email the following to Parks and Public Works at parksreservations@losgatosca.gov.
