Copy with citation
Copy as parenthetical citation

(1) Each applicant for a transient vendor license shall designate a registered agent on the license application. The registered agent must be a resident of the county or municipality for which the license is sought and shall be the agent on whom any process, notice or demand required or permitted by law to be served on the licensee may be served. The registered agent must agree in writing to act as the agent. The license applicant shall file a copy of the agreement with the license application.

(2) The county tax collector and the municipal tax collector shall maintain an alphabetical list of all transient vendors in the county or municipality, as the case may be, and the names and addresses of their registered agents.

(3) If a transient vendor who does business in a county or municipality fails to have or to maintain a registered agent in that county or municipality or if the designated registered agent cannot be found at the stated permanent address, the county tax collector or municipal tax collector, as the case may be, is the agent of the transient vendor for service of process, notices or demands. Service on the tax collector is made by delivering to his office duplicate copies of the process, notice or demand. If such a process, notice or demand is served on the tax collector, he shall immediately forward one (1) copy by registered or certified mail to the permanent address of the transient vendor.

(4) This section does not limit or otherwise affect the right of any person to serve a process, notice or demand in any other manner authorized by law.
