Redmond food trucks need a WA State business license, King County Public Health mobile-food permit, and Redmond business license and zoning review before operating on private or public property.
Food trucks and mobile food units in Redmond must obtain a Washington State business license through the Department of Revenue, a King County Public Health mobile food unit permit, and a City of Redmond business license. Operators must also register the vehicle with Washington L and I if employees work on the truck, and commissary facility documentation is required for food preparation off-site. Trucks operating on private property (restaurants, breweries, tech-campus parking lots in Overlake, Redmond Town Center events) generally need written permission from the property owner and compliance with Redmond Municipal Code Title 21 zoning standards, which limit truck locations, setbacks from residential property, and noise. Trucks operating in the public right-of-way require a Redmond special event or right-of-way use permit, and operations on Cleveland Street and in park areas often need additional park-use approval. Propane and fire-suppression equipment must be inspected and tagged under Redmond Fire adopted IFC.
