Overland Park issues no general mobile vending license. A food truck operates only under a special event permit held by the property owner or organizer, or as a private-event caterer closed to public sales.
The city's Permits, Licenses and Inspections division states the two circumstances allowing food truck sales: coverage by a special event permit issued to the property owner or event organizer under UDO Chapter 18.380, or operation at the invitation of a property owner as a caterer for a private event not open for public sales. Any truck producing grease-laden vapors must pass a fire inspection and display an HOAC sticker; the contact number is 913-895-8456. Food establishment licensing is a separate state layer, not a county one: the Kansas Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Lodging program licenses mobile food units statewide. Johnson County's permits guide routes food establishment licenses to that same state agency.
Operating outside these circumstances violates the zoning and business license chapters. Zoning penalties under 18.100.110 reach a $500 fine or six months' imprisonment per day.
