Food truck operators serving Pearl City, including those catering near Pearl Harbor gates and shopping centers, need a Honolulu peddler's license plus a state mobile food permit.
ROH Chapter 13, Article 6 establishes a peddler's license for mobile vendors and food trucks. Sec. 13-6.1 sets the annual fee at $27.50, Sec. 13-6.2 contains operational regulations, Sec. 13-6.3 bars deceptive sales, and Sec. 13-6.4 imposes penalties. Operators must also hold a Hawaii DOH Mobile Food Establishment permit and a Hawaii general excise tax license. Pearl City food trucks commonly serve military-payday crowds near Pearl Harbor gates on Kamehameha Highway and office workers along Pearl City Industrial Park. Operating on base requires separate federal authorization; only private-property operation with landowner approval is allowed off-base.
Operating without a peddler's license or MFE permit can trigger fines, inventory confiscation, and license revocation.
