Norfolk County does not license food trucks. Mobile food vendors need a common victualler license from each town plus a food service permit from the local board of health under 105 CMR 590.
Food truck permitting in Norfolk County is municipal. Each town issues its own mobile food vendor or common victualler license under MGL c. 140 §2. The food service permit is issued by the local board of health under 105 CMR 590 (Merged Food Code, based on 2013 FDA Food Code). Because MA has no single statewide mobile permit, trucks operating in multiple Norfolk County towns need a separate permit in each. Typical requirements: commissary agreement (where prep/waste is handled), Class D vehicle inspection, ServSafe-certified manager, fire extinguisher, handwash station with hot water, liability insurance ($500K-$1M typical). Annual renewal with reinspection.
No county enforcement. Operating without permit: $250-$1,000 per occurrence plus possible impoundment. Health violations under 105 CMR 590: immediate closure order. Expired permits: $100-$500/day.
