Selling at and running markets in Oregon.

No Oregon sales tax (Oregon Department of Revenue): Oregon says it has no general sales or use/transaction tax, so vendors at an Oregon market do not register for or collect sales tax. The exceptions the page names are a use tax on new vehicles bought out of state and certain taxes on specific services such as hotel or rental car bookings.

Cottage Food Exemption and Domestic Kitchen license (Oregon Department of Agriculture, Food Safety Program): No license or registration is needed if the food qualifies, every person preparing it has completed food handler training and annual gross sales stay at or under $52,700. Meat, cream-filled or other refrigerated baked goods and bottled brewed tea are outside the exemption; above the cap, a home kitchen needs an ODA Domestic Kitchen Bakery or Food Processor license. Labels must include the producer's phone number and name any pet species kept in the home.

Temporary restaurant license (single event, intermittent or seasonal) (County Local Public Health Authority; forms from the Oregon Health Authority): The Oregon Health Authority posts the temporary restaurant forms (single event, and operational review and renewal for intermittent and seasonal operations), but the application and any fee go to the Local Public Health Authority for the county where the event is held. Two OHA fact sheets list foods exempt at temporary events; ask the county for its fees and deadlines.

Business name registration (no general state business license) (Oregon Secretary of State, Corporation Division): The Secretary of State says registering a business name is not the same as getting a license: Oregon licenses are issued at the state level by profession or industry, and some cities and a few counties also license. A sole proprietor whose business name includes the owner's real and true name does not have to register an assumed business name.
