Sedona, AZ Food Trucks & Mobile Vendors: Food Truck Permits (2026)

1 of the Land Development Code states plainly that no person shall engage in mobile food vending without obtaining a business license. 05 of the Sedona City Code and be accompanied by the nonrefundable business license fee listed in the City's consolidated fee schedule, charged separately for the vendor's first business location and for each additional location the vendor intends to operate from. Because the ordinance requires a separate license for each mobile food vending unit, an operator running more than one truck or cart needs one license per unit, not one blanket license for the business.

The license must be kept with the unit on site so it is available for inspection by City officials at any time the truck is operating. 1 adds a liability insurance requirement: proof of coverage has to accompany the business license application before the vendor can set up on City-controlled land. 05 SCC, which the mobile food license application must satisfy, separately makes it unlawful to operate any business physically located in city limits without first procuring the license and complying with all zoning ordinances and specified building uses, and treats a license as neither evidence nor proof of code compliance, so holding the license does not excuse a vendor from also meeting the siting and separation rules that apply to mobile food vending.
