Mahwah requires mobile food vendors to obtain both a Solicitor Permit from the Police Department and a Mobile Food Vendor License from the Health Department, with fees set by truck type.
Operating a food truck or mobile food unit in Mahwah Township requires a two-step approval. First, applicants must obtain a Solicitor Permit through the Mahwah Police Department, which conducts background screening. Second, applicants apply for a Mobile Food Vendor License through the Mahwah Health Department at 475 Corporate Drive. Annual fees are $150 for cold trucks (prepackaged or non-cooking) and $250 for hot trucks (on-site cooking). The food license is not issued until the Solicitor Permit is approved by the Police Department.
Operating without both permits, expired permits, or failing inspection results in license denial, summonses, and orders to cease operation.
