Florida Statute 509.102 preempts local food truck regulation. Lynn Haven cannot require a food-truck-specific permit, but operators need a Florida DBPR Mobile Food Dispensing Vehicle license, Florida DOR sales tax account, and a Lynn Haven Business Tax Receipt.
F.S. 509.102 (effective 2020) preempts municipal regulation of mobile food vendors: a city may not require a separate license, registration, or fee, or restrict where mobile food vendors may operate, beyond what generally applies to brick-and-mortar businesses. Lynn Haven complies. Operators must hold: (1) a Florida DBPR Mobile Food Dispensing Vehicle license under F.S. 509.241; (2) a Florida DOR sales tax certificate (6% state + 0.5% Bay County discretionary surtax); (3) a Lynn Haven Business Tax Receipt; (4) any required commissary agreement under DBPR rules. Operation on private property requires owner permission. Operation in city right-of-way or city parks requires a Special Event Application.
DBPR unlicensed operation - $1,000/day under F.S. 509.261. Lynn Haven BTR violation - 25% penalty plus Sec. 1-7 fines.
