Food truck vending zones in Monmouth County are set by each municipality. Common restrictions include 100 to 200 foot buffers from brick-and-mortar restaurants, school zones, and fire hydrants. Boardwalk towns (Asbury Park, Long Branch, Belmar, Point Pleasant Beach) strictly limit oceanfront vending to designated areas or prohibit it entirely to protect boardwalk concessions. Special event permits (Asbury Park's Sea.Hear.Now, Monmouth County Fair) open temporary vending zones. Private property vending requires landowner permission and often additional zoning review.
