Food trucks in Suffolk County require city-issued permits — Boston's Mobile Food Truck Program through the Office of Economic Opportunity, plus Boston Public Health Commission health permit, commissary agreement, and ABCC compliance.
Food truck operators in Suffolk County obtain municipal permits, not county. Boston's Mobile Food Truck Program is administered by the Mayor's Office of Economic Opportunity & Inclusion and ISD — operators must submit: application and $500+ fees; Boston Public Health Commission (BPHC) food permit under MGL c. 94 §305B and 105 CMR 590; commissary agreement with an approved fixed facility; vehicle inspection; fire extinguisher certification; ServSafe certified manager; $1M+ general liability insurance; proof of commercial vehicle registration. Commissary is mandatory under 105 CMR 590.010 — food prep and waste disposal cannot happen on the truck alone. Boston assigns trucks to specific Public Space vending locations via lottery and seasonal scheduling. Chelsea, Revere, and Winthrop each have their own mobile food permit processes; Chelsea and Revere share some regional health services with Boston. Annual renewal required with re-inspection. Private-property vending on commercial sites requires owner permission plus zoning review.
Boston unpermitted food truck: $300-$1,000 per day under Boston Municipal Code §17-1 plus impoundment. 105 CMR 590 health violations: immediate closure order from BPHC. Expired commissary agreement: permit suspension until cured. Repeat violations: permanent permit revocation.
