2 rules for unincorporated St. Johns County, Florida.
Verified from official government sources
A food truck in St. Johns 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 St. Augustine and the county 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.
St. Johns 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
