The Board of Selectmen and Town Manager also license the following each May:
Junk Collectors (Antiques) - $30 per year.
Transient Vendors - Only 3 allowed with preference to Cohasset residents.  Transient vendor licenses are only issued from Memorial Day to Labor Day at a cost of $35.00 per year.  The Town sends out a renewal application to the existing transient vendors; only if one of those vendors does not renew will there be an opening.

When it's time to renew a license, the proper forms are mailed to the contact on file.  If the office does not receive the required forms by the date requested, the license will not be renewed and the applicant will have to file a new application.

To apply for a new license, you can print and fill out the application and worker's compensation forms provided below.  You can then submit it with the proper fee, with payment made out to the Town of Cohasset (payment for Liquor License renewals must be in the form of a bank check):
