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).

Violations & Fines

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. Other operating violations, such as exceeding the 15-minute standing limit, carry up to $250 and 30 days under § 390-13B.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a food truck need a special permit in Greenburgh?
Food trucks are licensed as peddlers under § 390-3, which requires a Town Clerk license before selling. Section 390-5A(5) also requires the applicant to supply a County Health Department permit number as part of that same application.
Can a food truck operate later than other street vendors in Greenburgh?
Yes. While general peddling is barred before 10:00 a.m. or after 8:00 p.m., § 390-8A(1)(b) extends motor vehicles selling food to 7:30 a.m. through 7:30 p.m., and to 10:00 p.m. between June 15 and September 15.
Can a food truck park anywhere it wants in Greenburgh?
No. Section 390-8A(3) bars standing more than 15 minutes in one spot, standing within 100 feet of an intersection, or standing on a crosswalk, and § 390-8A(8) keeps vendors 250 feet from schools during school hours.
