Vendors selling merchandise at Northpoint Flea Market may be required by Maryland law to obtain a Trader’s License. This information applies to indoor tables, outdoor spaces, and permanent booths.
Occasional Exhibitors
A limited exemption may be available to a qualifying occasional exhibitor who receives less than 10 percent of annual income from selling the type of goods offered at the show, has not participated in more than three shows during the previous 365 days, and provides the required Exhibitor’s Affidavit.
