Food trucks operating in Orland Park must obtain a village mobile food vendor license and a Cook County food service sanitation permit. Vending on public streets is significantly limited, with most operations restricted to private property with owner consent or approved special events.
The Village of Orland Park regulates mobile food vendors through its business licensing chapter and health regulations administered jointly with the Cook County Department of Public Health. Operators must obtain a village mobile food vendor license, provide proof of Illinois business registration, vehicle inspection, a commissary agreement, and a Certified Food Protection Manager certification. Cook County DPH issues the food service sanitation permit and conducts annual inspections. Trucks are generally prohibited from vending on public streets except at permitted special events or at village-coordinated locations (such as Triangle Park events). Private-property vending requires written permission from the property owner, zoning compliance, and adherence to minimum distance requirements from established food establishments. Operating hours typically restrict vending near schools and within residential districts.
License violations: $250-$750 per occurrence. Health code violations through Cook County: up to $1,000. Operating without a license may result in vehicle impoundment.
