Long Lake modernizes vending rules, adopts peddling and mobile‑vending law
Summary
The Town Board adopted Local Law No. 2 of 2026 to regulate commercial peddling, soliciting, and mobile vending; the law includes exemptions for farm producers, veterans, and town‑authorized markets and sets licensing, time/place/manner rules and enforcement by the Code Enforcement Officer.
The Town Board unanimously adopted Local Law No. 2 of 2026 on March 25, 2026, establishing the "Peddling, Soliciting, and Mobile Vending Law of the Town of Long Lake." The law replaces an ordinance from 1997 and is intended to be a content‑neutral, time/place/manner regulation of commercial activity. The board recorded an unanimous vote in favor at the meeting.
Key provisions exempt farm producers, honorably discharged veterans, vendors invited to Town‑sponsored events, and vendors participating in authorized farmers' markets from standard licensing requirements; the Town Clerk will process vendor licenses within five business days. The law also requires compliance with New York State sanitary and fire codes for food vendors, limits commercial solicitation to 9 a.m.–7 p.m., and prohibits stationary vending in rights‑of‑way except for Town‑authorized events. Enforcement is delegated to the Code Enforcement Officer and final appeals go to the Town Board.
