“Conduct a flea market” means furnishing space on a periodic basis for a fee to tenants to sell, barter or trade new or used goods.

“Flea market” means an event or occurrence which is characterized by tenants occupying space on a periodic basis for the purpose of selling, bartering or trading new or used goods.

“Operator” means any person who conducts a flea market.

Each application shall contain the location, date and hours of operation and the name and permanent address of the operator, together with other information required by the sheriff to allow him to determine the honesty and character of the applicant.
