Food Truck Permits: Flower Mound vs Little Elm

Food trucks and mobile food vendors operating in Flower Mound must obtain a mobile food vendor permit from the town and a food establishment permit from the Denton County Public Health Department. The town regulates operating locations through its zoning ordinance, requiring mobile food vendors to operate only on approved commercial or mixed-use zoned properties with written consent from the property owner or leaseholder. All food trucks must also carry a valid Texas Comptroller sales tax permit and maintain commercial liability insurance. A fire safety inspection certificate from the Flower Mound Fire Department or a recognized authority is required before the town permit will be issued. Commissary requirements apply, meaning mobile food units must operate from a licensed commercial commissary kitchen for food preparation, cold storage, vehicle cleaning, and equipment servicing as mandated by Denton County health regulations.

Food trucks in Little Elm must obtain a mobile food vendor permit from the town and meet Denton County health department requirements. Permits specify approved locations and hours.
