A food truck working in York County needs a SCDHEC retail food establishment permit and must run from an approved commissary. Each city it serves, including Rock Hill, Fort Mill, and York, adds its own business license.
South Carolina regulates food trucks as mobile retail food establishments through SCDHEC under Regulation 61-25. Before operating, a truck passes plan review and inspection, holds a valid SCDHEC permit, and reports to an approved commissary for water, waste, cleaning, and food storage. The SCDHEC permit covers food safety, not location. On top of that, each municipality where the truck vends, such as Rock Hill, Fort Mill, Tega Cay, Clover, or York, requires its own business license, and unincorporated sites depend on York County zoning and the property owner's consent.
Operating a mobile food unit without a SCDHEC permit or approved commissary lets the health department halt it and pursue penalties; the permit is suspended or revoked for failed inspections or unsafe food handling.
