Street Side Sales licenses are primarily for the temporary sale of products including fireworks, Christmas trees, flowers, fruits and vegetables, seafood, firewood, or arts and crafts, and are permitted within commercial or industrial zoning districts, or on sites with a community service use.  You determine the start date of the business period and the license will be active for a total of up to 60 days in a calendar year.  Before you submit an application, call the Troutdale Community Development Department at 503-674-7230 to make sure you’re allowed to sell your goods in the zoning district you’ve selected.
