Taylorsville, UT Food Trucks & Mobile Vendors: Food Truck Permits (2026)

Section 13.11.170, Food Trucks/Catering Trucks and Street Vendors as Mobile Businesses, requires every mobile food operator to hold a Taylorsville business license before opening, per subsection B(1), and that license expires on the earliest of the required health or safety inspection deadline or one year from issuance, whichever comes first. Mobile businesses are restricted to commercial and industrial land use areas as the default operating zone, alcohol sales are banned outright, and property owner consent is required at every location the operator wants to use.

Operating more than ten hours a week at the same private location triggers an additional site-plan submission covering parking, traffic circulation, and pedestrian access. Operating in the public right-of-way requires a separate special events permit and, where the right-of-way falls under state jurisdiction, written UDOT authorization, plus a certificate of general liability insurance naming Taylorsville City as an additional insured, with limits of at least $200,000 per person, $500,000 per occurrence, and $500,000 for property damage, or a $500,000 single-limit policy. Under subsection B(10), each stop is temporary by design: a vehicle cannot stay more than twelve hours within any twenty-four-hour period at one location without Director approval, and standard hours run from 7:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M. unless the location is part of an approved special event or hosts a business already approved for extended hours. Every vehicle must display its business license, fire inspection certificate, and Health Department inspection sticker in plain view.
