Casa Grande, AZ Food Trucks & Mobile Vendors: Food Truck Permits (2026)

Casa Grande Municipal Code Section 5.16.030 makes it unlawful to operate a mobile food unit without first obtaining a license from the Arizona Department of Health Services under A.R.S. Section 36-1761, and unlawful to operate without a city business tax receipt issued under Chapter 5.04. Before the Finance Department will issue that receipt, a vendor must provide a state TPT license, the state mobile food truck license, a valid Pinal County Health approval, and proof of a fire inspection conducted within the preceding twelve months; each individual mobile food unit needs its own separate business tax receipt.

Section 5.16.040 layers on operational rules enforced by the Fire Department and Finance Department: units must meet the International Fire Code in effect when the license issues and pass a Fire Department inspection or show an equivalent inspection from another Arizona fire department within the past year, provide a fifteen-gallon trash receptacle within fifteen feet of the unit, keep the surrounding vending area free of litter, garbage, and debris, and carry liability insurance naming the city as an additional insured when operating on city property or at a city-sponsored event. Section 5.16.050 makes any violation of Chapter 5.16 a petty offense enforced through the city's Finance and Police Departments.
