Full Breakdown
Greenburgh has no standalone food truck chapter; mobile food vendors fall under the Peddlers, Solicitors and Canvassers law, Chapter 390, because the PEDDLER definition in § 390-2 covers anyone who, on foot or from any vehicle, sells or offers for sale any goods, wares, merchandise or services. That means a food truck operator must first get a Town Clerk license under § 390-3 before selling, following the same § 390-5 application as any other peddler: name, address, vehicle description and registration, and criminal history. Because the applicant is selling food, § 390-5A(5) specifically requires a County Health Department permit number, if a food vendor, as part of that application, on top of the Town license.
between June 15 and September 15. on school days, and no noise in violation of Chapter 380. Selling unwholesome or unfit food is separately barred by § 390-8A(2).

Operating a food truck in Greenburgh without the § 390-3 Town Clerk license is a misdemeanor under § 390-13A, punishable by up to $500 and three months in jail for a first offense and up to $1,000 and a year for a repeat violation.
