Food trucks in Moorpark require a Business Registration and Ventura County Environmental Health Division approval. On public streets, a Vendor Form and City Badge are required. On private property, a Temporary Use Permit is needed. Food trucks may not stop for more than 30 minutes in one location without a TUP.
Operating a food truck in Moorpark requires multiple permits. First, a Business Registration from the city is mandatory. The Ventura County Environmental Health Division at (805) 654-2813 must approve the food operation. If located on a public street, the operator must submit a Vendor Form and obtain a Badge from the city. If operating on private property, a Temporary Use Permit (TUP) is required, with up to one extension available. After the TUP period, an Administrative Permit is required for continued operation. A street vendor (food truck) is defined as a vehicle or trailer that is mobile or wheeled, designed to vend from a parked or stopped location on a city street or public right-of-way. Without a TUP, a vendor may not stop for more than 30 minutes in any one location. Sidewalk vendors are separately regulated under Chapter 5.62.
Operating without required permits is a code violation. Stopping for more than 30 minutes without a TUP violates the vendor regulations. Failure to meet Environmental Health standards may result in health citations and closure. Contact Code Compliance at (805) 517-6232.
