Ch. 856 applies if annual gross receipts exceed $500,000; below that, a $50 flat fee. Operating in unincorporated Loudoun on private property requires zoning compliance per the Revised 1993 Loudoun County Zoning Ordinance — mobile food units generally permitted at Commercial (C-4, CR-NR) and Industrial zoning districts with property owner consent.

Town jurisdictions: Leesburg (Town Code §26 licensing + Zoning §18), Purcellville, Middleburg, and Hamilton each require separate mobile vendor permits, typically $50-$250 annually. Special event permits for fairs (Loudoun County Fair, Bluemont Fair) handled through event organizer.
