Mobile food trucks in Largo need a city Business Tax Receipt under Chapter 7, a state DBPR mobile food dispensing vehicle license, and must operate from approved private property locations consistent with the Comprehensive Development Code.
Largo regulates mobile food vendors through Chapter 7 of the Code of Ordinances (Businesses) and the Comprehensive Development Code, updated by Ordinance 2019-15 to expressly accommodate mobile food dispensing vehicles. Operators must obtain a Largo Business Tax Receipt, a Florida DBPR Mobile Food Dispensing Vehicle license, and a Pinellas County Department of Health permit when applicable. Trucks generally must operate from private property in commercial or industrial zoning districts with the property owner's written consent and may not set up in the public right-of-way without an authorized special-event permit. Trucks must provide trash receptacles, comply with noise standards, and meet Fire Code rules for cooking equipment and propane.
Operating without a Business Tax Receipt or vending in a prohibited zone can result in fines through Largo Code Enforcement, suspension of the permit, and exclusion from city special events.
