Becoming a Vendor

Vendor Categories

The market groups vendors into five categories: Agricultural, Value-Added, Prepared Food, Artisan, and Guest / Special-Event vendors. Detailed descriptions of each category are in the 2026 Rules & Regulations.

To keep the market balanced, we limit how many vendors sell similar products — generally no more than two vendors per product. Fruit and vegetable growers are always exempt, and always welcome. If your category is full, we may offer you a spot on our waitlist.

How Applications Work

• Apply online with photos of your products and copies of any permits — it takes about 15 minutes.
• The volunteer board reviews and votes on every application, and you'll be notified after the vote.
• New vendors start on a one-month probationary basis; after a good first month, you're approved for the rest of the year and can move to weekly, monthly, quarterly, or full-year membership — fees you've already paid roll into the new level.

Permits & Sales Tax

All required city, county, state, and federal permits must be submitted with your application and accepted before you can sell. The application's built-in permit helper tells you exactly which permits your products need, and our online rules assistant can answer questions along the way.

For sales-tax questions, contact the Texas Comptroller: 800-252-5555 · comptroller.texas.gov. You are responsible for verifying which of your products are taxable.

Membership & Fees (2026)

• Each vendor gets one 10’ × 10’ space.
• Fees are paid in cash or by check to the market Treasurer (checks made out to the City of Taylor). Full-year and quarterly fees are prorated if you join mid-year or mid-quarter.
• The market is rain or shine — no refunds or credits for weather. See the 2026 Rules & Regulations for full fee and attendance details.
