"Commercial Activity: It shall be unlawful to conduct any commercial activity or concession, or provide any service, product or activity for which a fee is charged, on Open Space lands, except when a valid Xxxxxx County Open Space Special Activity Agreement is issued. Fine: $75.00"
Is this common in your area? I was just advised of this regulation (while doing a one-on-one portrait session), and of the fact that if you sell an image with Public property in it (i.e. open space, in this case), the public deserves a cut of that $$. It was very difficult to actually find that the regulation even existed.
That being said, if one were to NOT charge for the portrait session, and only charge for any prints and/or digital files delivered, would that circumvent the language contained above? Or would it merely put it off until a print and/or digital file is purchased?
I understand their intent that people don't set up hot dog stands all willy-nilly, but this seems like a simple money-grab to me.
Thanks for any insight,
-Jeff
