§ 25-37-1-11 — Municipal authority over transient merchants

(a) Towns and cities may tax, license, and
regulate transient merchants and charge a fee for the transaction of
business by them. Towns and cities may provide for punishment of
violators, subject to the limitations of IC 36-1-3.
(b) This subsection does not apply to a county having a consolidated
city. A city or town license may not be in lieu of a county license. This
chapter does not supersede any ordinance regulating transient
merchants.
(c) This subsection applies to a county having a consolidated city.
A transient merchant is not required to obtain a county transient
merchant license under this chapter. A transient merchant may not
transact business in a municipality located wholly or partially within
the county unless the transient merchant and the owner of the property
to be offered for sale (or sold if the property is not owned by the
vendor) have first obtained a license from the fiscal officer of the
municipality under this chapter.
