When is a vendor's license required and how do I get one?
A vendor's license is required by state law when a business conducts retail sales. Having a vendor's license enables the business owner to collect sales tax for the State of Ohio. The license is issued by the county auditor's office in the county in which the business is located. Please reference the State of Ohio Department of Taxation website (http://tax.ohio/online_services/business_taxes_sales_filing.aspx) for online vendor's license applications.
