Mobile food facility operators need multiple permits: a county business license from the Treasurer-Tax Collector, a Mobile Food Facility permit from the Environmental Health Division (part of the Health Care Agency), and a valid California seller's permit. Health permits require an approved commissary for food prep, storage, and waste disposal. Vehicles must meet fire safety requirements. Annual health inspections are conducted by the Environmental Health Division. Contact Environmental Health at (805) 654-2813 for permit applications.
