Food trucks operating in Live Oak need a city mobile food vendor permit plus San Antonio Metropolitan Health District food establishment permit and Texas sales tax registration.
Mobile food vendors operating in Live Oak must hold multiple permits before serving the public. From the city, operators need a mobile food vendor or itinerant merchant permit issued by the city secretary or code department, which confirms zoning compliance and requires proof of insurance and a valid driver license for the operator. A San Antonio Metropolitan Health District Mobile Food Establishment permit is required for food safety, including routine inspections and a certified food manager on staff.
