If the business location is being moved to a different county, a new regular vendor license must be obtained from the County Auditor of the different county. There is no fee for transferring a regular vendor license from one location to another within the same county. However, a vendor must submit a transfer application with the County Auditor in this situation. A regular vendor license may be transferred from one existing business location to another when you move an existing business to a new location within the same county.

You must have an active regular vendor license for each fixed place of business from which taxable retail sales are made.
