Mobile food vendors operating in Brandon need a Florida DBPR Mobile Food Dispensing Vehicle (MFDV) license and a Hillsborough County Business Tax Receipt, plus property owner consent at each operation site.
Florida Statute §509.102 preempts most local regulation of food truck licensing — counties may not require a separate vending license beyond a BTR or impose unique health inspections beyond DBPR. However, zoning (where they may operate) remains a local authority under §509.102.
Operating without a DBPR MFDV license is a misdemeanor; County BTR delinquency is a civil penalty.
