Food Truck Permits

A food truck in Hernando County is licensed by the state, not the county. Fla. Stat. §509.102 preempts licensing of mobile food dispensing vehicles to the Florida DBPR, so one state license covers the truck statewide, and Brooksville and the county cannot require a second license or fee.
