A food truck in Forsyth County needs a Georgia mobile food service permit from county environmental health plus a county business license. State rules require the truck to work from a permitted base of operations or commissary.
Food trucks in Forsyth County are permitted under Georgia's Food Service Rules and Regulations, Chapter 511-6-1, administered locally by Forsyth County Environmental Health within Georgia Department of Public Health District 2. A mobile food service unit must operate in conjunction with a permitted base of operations or commissary, reporting there for supplies, cleaning, and servicing, and the permit is posted on the unit. Plan review, a vehicle and equipment inspection, handwashing and water tanks, and a certified food safety manager are required. Operators also hold a Forsyth County occupation tax certificate. Permits are renewed annually with reinspection.
Operating a mobile food unit without the environmental health permit or the required base of operations draws inspection failure, permit denial or suspension, and closure orders; operating without a county business license adds penalties.
