A.
"Huckster" is defined as a person or entity selling goods, wares, and merchandise within the corporate limits of the City of Crisfield on a transient, itinerant or mobile basis, and not from a permanent fixed location, whether from a cart, stand, wagon, truck or otherwise. A vendor who removes his or her wares nightly, or fails to continue sales operations at a single location for more than 24 hours, shall be deemed "mobile" and therefore a "huckster" within the meaning of this article. A "huckster" shall not include, and the provisions of Article II of this chapter shall apply to, a "food truck" or the licensee thereof as defined in § 83-13.
[Amended 5-26-2021 by Ord. No. 702]
B.
It shall be unlawful for any huckster, as defined
in the preceding subsection, to act as such without first obtaining
a license or permit from the Clerk or the Mayor and City Council of
Crisfield, which license or permit is to be known as a "huckster's
license," and shall be effective for the calendar year during which
it was issued.
No vendor or huckster shall be permitted or
allowed to park his automobile, truck, wagon or other vehicle for
the purpose of selling or disposing of his commodities on Fourth Street,
between Pine Street and Broadway, and on Main Street, between Third
Street and Sixth Street, in said City of Crisfield.
[Amended 9-12-1979 by Ord. No. 333]

to be an infraction. The penalty for violation shall be $25 for each
initial offense and $50 for each repeat offense.
