Logan, UT Food Trucks & Mobile Vendors: Food Truck Permits (2026)

Chapter 5.20 covers three vehicle types: the mobile food truck, the mobile food trailer and the ice cream truck, all operating from a licensed and operable motor vehicle on a temporary basis. A structure that sits in one location for the temporary use, such as a snow shack, is a stationary food vendor and falls under chapter 5.18 instead (5.20.010). Section 5.20.020 makes it unlawful to conduct a mobile food vendor business without first securing a license, requires the license to be displayed so it is plainly visible to the public, and sets the fee in the schedule adopted by the Municipal Council.

Section 5.20.030 governs the application. Forms come from the Business Licensing Division, the applicant needs a current State Sales Tax number, and a complete application must be submitted at least fifteen (15) days before the date of operation. Incomplete or late applications can be rejected, and revisions can extend the approval date. The application lists the commissary address where the vehicle is cleaned, restocked and stored overnight. Logan recognizes a current business license in good standing from another political subdivision in Utah. Under section 5.20.040 the applicant designates a responsible individual and supplies a driver's license number, date of birth and vehicle identification information.

Operating conditions in section 5.20.050 include annual inspection and approval by the Bear River Health Department, with another Utah health department's current permit accepted, and a City inspection for safety, appearance, signage and accessibility, with another Utah subdivision's fire safety approval accepted. Vendors on public property must show insurance under section 5.04.040, and every vehicle must stay operable with current registration, licensing and insurance. Operating hours run from 7:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M., and the Director of Community Development can approve extended hours temporarily on a showing of substantial justification.

Under section 5.20.070, public works, planning, zoning, building, fire, police and health review each application, and the License Administrator can issue the license with operational limitations specified.
