Fayetteville food trucks need an outdoor mobile vendor permit under UDC §178.04. The $125 application doubles as the vendor's business license, and requires county and state health approval, Fire Department inspection, and annual renewal.
Fayetteville regulates food trucks and food trailers as 'outdoor mobile vendors' under UDC §178.04. Each mobile vendor permit application carries a $125.00 review and processing fee and also serves as the operator's business license. Applicants submit valid state and Washington County health department permits (displayed at all times), proof of HMR tax remittance where applicable, and photos of the unit. Cooking units require Fire Department inspection. The proposed use must be permitted by right in the underlying zoning district, except for approved operations in city parks. Permits are non-transferable and renew annually alongside the business license, with updated health and fire documentation.
Operating without a mobile vendor permit or health approval violates §178.04; the city may revoke the permit, and fines reach $500 per offense under §10.99.
