Brevard food trucks need a county mobile food dispensing vehicle permit, FL DBPR or FDACS license (depending on food type), and Brevard Health Department approval. FL §509.102 preempts some local restrictions.
Food trucks operating in Brevard County must obtain: (1) FL Department of Business & Professional Regulation (DBPR) mobile food dispensing vehicle (MFDV) license for prepared food, or FL Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (FDACS) license for packaged goods; (2) Florida Department of Health - Brevard (FDOH-Brevard) plan review and inspection; (3) county or city business tax receipt (BTR). FL Statute §509.102 (effective 2020) preempts local governments from requiring separate food-truck-specific operating permits beyond state licensing, though parking, noise, and zoning rules still apply. Liability insurance and commissary agreement required. Annual renewal and vehicle inspection. Popular vending areas: Port Canaveral, Eau Gallie Arts District (EGAD), Melbourne downtown events, Cocoa Village.
Operating without DBPR/FDACS license: $250-$1,000 state fine plus closure. Health violations: immediate closure by FDOH-Brevard. No county BTR: $100-$500.
