Where do you get a permit to sell lemonade?

Answer 1

Technically - Yes you do and you may get into trouble if you don't have a permit.

But why should that stop you? So long as your polite, the most you will get is asked to move along.

I run a social enterprise that encourages children to start businesses and we debated this exact topic here:

Please let us know what you think :)

Answer 2

In some cases yes but others no you can have a lemonade stand on your own property according to the mayor if you go to a park or store and try it you need a permit because that is not your actual property also not on the sidewalk because that sidewalk is the city's property and if something dangerous happens its automaticly the cities fault in 2002 a little 7 year old girl got fined 200$ because of not having a lemonade stand in her own property you could be next soo remember own your property and if its a aparment check with the lanlord first tootalu!

Answer 3

Theoretically if you place your stand on land that is owned by the town, city or state, you need a permit.

The laws and by-laws are different in every city, state and country, and you will need to speak to City Hall if you want to secure a pass.

That being said, Police often turn the other cheek with these businesses, especially if they are run by minors.

Another thing to remember - If you place your stand on property that is privately owned, you do not need a permit, but you do need permission from the owner of the land.

If you do it on your own private land, you do not need a permit.
