Food trucks in Volusia County need DBPR Mobile Food Dispensing Vehicle license (FL §509.032) plus local business tax receipts. FL §509.102 preempts city-specific truck regulation since 2020. Commissary agreement required.
Food trucks in Volusia County operate under FL Statute §509.032 (Division of Hotels and Restaurants) with a Mobile Food Dispensing Vehicle (MFDV) license from FL DBPR. Since July 1, 2020, FL §509.102 preempts municipal regulation of food trucks — cities cannot require separate licensing, permitting, or impose stricter health standards than the state. Cities may still collect local business tax receipts (formerly occupational licenses) under FL §205. Operators need: DBPR MFDV license, commissary agreement for food prep/cleaning/waste (FL DBPR Form HR-7030), fire suppression inspection by State Fire Marshal or local AHJ (per NFPA 96), liability insurance, and food handler certifications (ServSafe or equivalent). Volusia County Health Department inspects mobile units operating primarily as caterers. Fire extinguisher (Class K for cooking with grease) and handwashing station required. Propane inspections per NFPA 58.
Operating without DBPR license: $500 to $1,000 plus shutdown. Commissary lapse: immediate MFDV suspension. Fire code violation: red-tag and cease operation. No business tax receipt: $100 to $500 per jurisdiction.
