   Businesses must be registered for sales tax in order to receive a resale exemption certificate. 
   Certificates will not be issued if an account is not in compliance. Failure to present the certificate at time 
   of purchase will result in sales tax being charged on purchases. 
    
   The buyer will be responsible for restricting purchases to the types of items listed on the certificate. 
   Purchases made with the use of a resale certificate for any other reason are not permitted. If items that do 
   not qualify for the exemption are purchased along with exempt items, the buyer is responsible for 
   separating taxable items from non-taxable items at the point of purchase.   
    
   Up to three cards may be issued to a business, but the applicant is responsible for educating all persons 
   authorized to use the resale certificate on the proper use of the buyer’s resale certificate privileges.  
    
   Misuse of the resale certificate is unlawful and subject to prosecution and fine.
