FREQUENTLY ASKED
VENDOR FAQ
How much does it cost to vend?
We offer two options. Daily vendors pay $25 per 10' × 20' space, per day. Monthly vendors pay $15 per day for a single space, or $25 per day for two spaces. Monthly slots require a one-month deposit to reserve, and you can prepay up to six months in advance. Payments happen on-site during cashier hours, and all fees are final (we don't issue refunds).
What days and times is the market open?
We're open Saturdays and Sundays from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM, weather permitting. For vendors: you can start setting up as early as 5:00 AM, but everything needs to be ready by 7:30 AM.
Do I need a Seller's Permit?
Most likely, yes. If you vend more than two days in a 12-month period, the State of California requires one. They're free to apply for at cdtfa.ca.gov. Some items are exempt from the Seller's Permit requirement; visit cdtfa.ca.gov to learn more, and check with the CDTFA directly to confirm what applies to what you're selling. When you arrive, bring a valid photo ID and a copy of your Seller's Permit listing 5151 Pacific Ave, Stockton, CA 95207. Permits that don't list this address can't be accepted.
What permits do I need?
It depends on what you're selling. Here's the quick guide: General merchandise needs a Seller's Permit* and a photo ID. Food and produce vendors need a San Joaquin County Environmental Health Permit, a Seller's Permit, and general liability insurance with at least $1M of coverage. Cottage food vendors need a SJC Cottage Food Permit (Class A only), general liability insurance, and a Seller's Permit*. Plant vendors need a Seller's Permit and a CDFA Nursery License (or the fee-exempt version if you sell under $1,000/year). Mattress vendors need a Seller's Permit and a CA Bureau of Household Goods license. *Some items are exempt from the Seller's Permit requirement; visit cdtfa.ca.gov to learn more. A few categories have a waiting list, so we recommend reaching out to the market office before you apply for any permits.
What's prohibited?
We don't allow alcohol, tobacco, animals, firearms or tasers, illegal drugs or paraphernalia, counterfeit or knock-off goods, pornographic material, or used mattresses.
Are refunds available?
No. Space rentals are final, no exceptions.
What behavior is expected?
We ask for professional, respectful conduct toward staff, customers, and fellow vendors. Disorderly behavior (verbal abuse, physical altercations, or refusing staff direction) results in immediate removal and forfeiture of fees paid.
What happens after I submit the form?
We'll get back to you by email within 1 to 3 business days with the next steps. If you don't see our reply, please check your spam or promotions folder.
Do you help with carry-in or carry-out?
No. Market staff doesn't provide carry-in or carry-out services. Vendors and customers are responsible for transporting all items in and out of the Market.
Can I use an electrical generator?
Yes, vendors may use electrical generators to supply power needs. Generators must be muffled and vented so there is minimal noise nuisance or concentration of fumes outside the vendor's sales area.
What if I damage Delta College property?
Any damage to San Joaquin Delta Community College property or equipment committed by the vendor is the responsibility of the vendor. Reimbursement or repair is required.
