2 rules for unincorporated Okaloosa County, Florida.
Verified from official government sources
A food truck in Okaloosa 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 Destin and Fort Walton Beach cannot require a second license or fee.
Fla. Stat. §509.102(2)(a)
Regulation of mobile food dispensing vehicles, and temporary commercial kitchens, involving licenses, registrations, permits, and fees is preempted to the state.
Okaloosa County cannot shut food trucks out of town. Fla. Stat. §509.102 preempts food-truck operation to the state and forbids a local government from prohibiting mobile food vehicles across the whole of its jurisdiction. Neutral parking, private-property, and right-of-way rules still apply.
Fla. Stat. §509.102
may not prohibit mobile food dispensing vehicles or temporary commercial kitchens from operating within the entirety of the entity's jurisdiction.
