Vending Zones

Mobile food vending in Colonie is governed by a combination of the Town of Colonie Code (ecode360.com/CO0290), which regulates peddlers and hawkers and reserves the Town's commercial-zoning authority over fixed vending locations, and the Albany County Department of Health, which issues the mobile food service establishment permit required statewide under NYS Sanitary Code Subpart 14-2. Vending on Town-owned property and within the Town right-of-way generally requires Town Board or Highway Department authorization; private-property vending requires the property owner's consent plus zoning compliance.
