Mobile food units operating in Richmond must obtain a Fort Bend County mobile food establishment permit and pass a Richmond Fire Marshal inspection before serving the public.
Richmond defers retail food permitting to the Fort Bend County Health Department, which issues Mobile Food Establishment permits for trucks, trailers, and pushcarts operating in the city. In addition, all food trucks operating within Richmond must pass a Richmond Fire Marshal inspection covering propane and fuel storage, fire extinguishers, and suppression hood systems. Operators selling at events or the Richmond farmers market must comply with city temporary food permit requirements. A current food handler card and food manager certificate are required for staff, and commissary documentation may be required at the time of inspection.
Operating without permit or inspection can result in shutdown of the unit, county and city citations, and refusal of future permits.
