Menifee, CA Food Trucks & Mobile Vendors: Food Truck Permits (2026)

020 defines a MOBILE FOOD FACILITY and MOBILE FOOD VENDOR as a mobile operator that sells or vends food, including ice cream, and folds that use into the broader MOBILE OPERATOR definition covering businesses that use a motor vehicle to visit customer locations. 090(B)(14), so a food truck operator undergoes the Chief of Police's background investigation, fingerprinting, and photographing described in subsection (A) before the Finance Department issues a license. 120(B) then adds the health permit requirement: any trade requiring an additional city, county, state, or federal license or permit must exhibit that license to the Finance Department before the city will issue the business license, and the Code specifically calls out mobile food vendors and mobile food facilities, requiring compliance with Riverside County Department of Environmental Health Services requirements, including County Ordinance No.

580 as amended. The city does not independently verify the validity of that county permit; the operator carries the compliance burden. 180(B), and must show it to the Finance Department, law enforcement, or code enforcement on request. 70, which apply only to vendors selling from a sidewalk vending receptacle or from one's person rather than from a motor vehicle.
