Food Truck Permits
Florida Statute § 509.102 (enacted as HB 1193 in 2020) preempts local regulation of mobile food dispensing vehicle licenses, registrations, permits, and fees to the state. Hernando County (which governs unincorporated Spring Hill) cannot require a separate food-truck permit or impose a fee beyond the state license. Hernando County also does NOT require a Local Business Tax Receipt (the County repealed its Occupational License / BTR Ordinance effective August 1, 2007), so unlike many Florida jurisdictions there is no County license to obtain. Operators need a state DBPR Mobile Food Dispensing Vehicle license under FS § 509.241 (or FDACS license for prepackaged-only), a Florida sales-tax registration, and zoning compliance for the operating site.

Few RestrictionsVending Zones
Florida Statute § 509.102 forbids Hernando County from prohibiting food trucks 'within the entirety of the entity's jurisdiction,' which preempts countywide bans and proximity buffers from brick-and-mortar restaurants in Spring Hill. Hernando County controls where food trucks may operate only through generally applicable zoning under Appendix A — food trucks must operate in zoning districts that allow retail food sales, with the property owner's permission. Operations on County rights-of-way require a ROW Use Permit; operations in County parks (Veterans Memorial Park, Anderson Snow Sports Complex, Linda Pedersen Park) require a special-event permit from Parks & Recreation. Sound, fire, lighting, and discharge rules apply uniformly.
