Monroe Township (Gloucester County), NJ Food Trucks & Mobile Vendors: Food Truck Permits (2026)

Monroe Township, in Gloucester County, prices food vending in two places in Chapter 74, the Township fee schedule, and registers it again under Chapter 126. Chapter 230, the peddling and soliciting chapter that § 74-27 cites, is not in the exported code text, so this page reports the printed fees and cross-references, not the operating conditions inside Chapter 230.

Section 74-27(C) sets two charges for food vendors: a food vendor's license fee of $100 as an annual fee, and an ID fee of $25. The section was amended 11-26-2018, 4-28-2021 and 2-28-2024.

Event vending is priced separately. For the music festival sponsored by Parks and Recreation, § 74-43(D) charges a mobile food unit $300, and an open air single food cart or truck that does require a fire permit $150. For other Township-sponsored events run by Community Affairs and Parks and Recreation, § 74-44 charges a mobile food unit $150 and an open air single food cart $100. Both sections also price vendor space at $35 for a single space, $55 for a double space and $35 for each additional space.

Chapter 126 reaches mobile food units directly. Section 126-2(A) lists mobile food units and temporary retail food establishments among the businesses that must register a certificate of insurance with the Township Clerk, and § 126-1 makes it unlawful to operate in the Township without that registration. Section 126-4 sets the registration fee at $50, with registrations expiring on December 31 of each year and renewals due no later than December 1. The application under § 126-5 must describe the nature of the business and the goods or services to be sold, and must attach a certificate of insurance.
