23 Va. Admin. Code § 10-500-30
Where a Virginia locality has adopted a BPOL ordinance that requires a license, every person engaged in a licensable activity at a definite place of business in such locality must apply for a license. Whether or not a particular activity is in fact subject to license taxation depends upon the local ordinance. What constitutes a definite place of business is discussed in 23VAC10-500-10. See Uniform Ordinance provisions, § 58.1-3703.1 of the Code of Virginia. Where a locality has adopted a BPOL ordinance requiring a license, a license is also required if a person has no definite place of business in a particular locality in Virginia but the person operates amusement machines in a locality or is classified as an itinerant merchant, peddler, carnival, circus, contractor subject to § 58.1-3715 of the Code of Virginia, or a public service corporation as defined in § 58.1-3731 of the Code of Virginia.
