BADGE INFORMATION

The San Francisco Flower Mart has a "Badge" program sanctioned and regulated by the California State Board of Equalization. This program is designed to be a method of identification and record keeping for both the buyers and vendors within the Mart.

When businesses and organizations purchase in the San Francisco Flower Mart for resale, during our regular wholesale hours, a San Francisco Flower Mart "Badge" is required. 

If you are not buying for a business, we also maintain open market hours after 10:00 a.m. Select vendors are conveniently opened to the retail trade.

For Businesses interested in applying for a San Francisco Flower Mart Badge, you may apply in person (during Badge Office Hours), through the mail as outlined below, or you can request an application to be mailed to you. 

The prorated fee for 2008 San Francisco Flower Market "Badge" is  $60.00

There are two (2) types of “Badges” differentiated by how your company conducts its business:

NON-TAXABLE BADGE: For businesses actively reselling product to a consumer and collecting sales tax on the product, you may apply for a "Non-Taxable Retailer's" Badge.
TAXABLE BADGE: For businesses and organizations using the product for display purposes, not actively reselling the product, you may apply for a Taxable-Buyer's Badge.
BADGE RENEWAL: You are renewing a badge only if you have a year 2007 San Francisco Flower Mart "Badge". If you do not have a 2007 San Francisco Flower Mart "Badge", you will need to apply for a new "Badge".
