Food trucks need Fresno County Environmental Health Mobile Food Facility permit, CA seller's permit, and Clovis business license. Operations on city streets/property require a site-specific permit. CA Health & Safety Code §114315 preempts health rules.
State law (CA H&S §113700+) regulates Mobile Food Facilities—Fresno County DEH inspects and permits. Clovis cannot duplicate health rules but can regulate location, hours, and zoning via SB 972 (2022, which liberalized sidewalk vending). Required: DEH permit, commissary letter, business license, seller's permit. Private property operation allowed with owner consent and proper zoning (commercial zones).
Operating without DEH permit: closure, up to $1,000 fine. No city business license: $100+ per day.
