All mobile food trucks operating in St. Louis County must obtain a Department of Health food permit under Chapter 807 (Food Code). Operators must also obtain any additional municipal vendor permit for each city where they operate.
Chapter 807 (Food Code) governs food preparation, storage, sanitation, and operator certification for mobile food units. Permits are issued by the Department of Health (314-615-8900) after inspection of the truck commissary. Each of the 88 cities adds its own vendor or zoning requirements — Creve Coeur requires a separate city permit, Clayton designates specific vending zones via the Fire Marshal.
Operating without permit: up to $1,000/day; immediate cease-operations order; permit suspension for sanitation violations.
