Dear Transient Merchant License Applicant:

The Oklahoma Legislature has enacted the Transient Merchant Licensing Act. The Act requires that any transient

merchant who desires to transact business in any county in the State must apply for and obtain a license in each

county in which the merchant desires to transact business.

You must obtain a transient merchant license if you are a person, firm, corporation, partnership or other entity which

engages in, does, or transacts any temporary or transient business in this state, either in one locality or in traveling

from place to place in the State of Oklahoma which offers for sale or sells goods, wares, merchandise, or services,

including merchants who hire, lease, use or occupy any building, structure, motor vehicle, railroad car, or real

estate.

You must also obtain a transient merchant license if you have a business which is a home improvement siding,

roofing or resurfacing service, engaged in the sale or the offer of sale of goods carried on in a building, structure,

motor vehicle, mobile home, travel trailer, railroad car or real estate for a term of less than six months a year.
