Temple Terrace requires mobile food vendors to hold a Florida DBPR Mobile Food Dispensing Vehicle license and a City business-tax receipt. Vendors must operate on private property with owner consent, and FL §509.102 preempts most local operational restrictions.
FL Statute §509.102 (effective 2020) preempts local regulation of mobile food dispensing vehicles beyond what the state authorizes. Temple Terrace requires every food truck operating within city limits to obtain a local business-tax receipt (BTR) for approximately $75 per year and display the state DBPR MFDV license. Trucks operating on private commercial property need written property-owner consent. Operation in the public right-of-way requires a special event permit. Health inspections are conducted by the Florida DBPR Division of Hotels and Restaurants. Commissary base of operation must be documented.
Operating without DBPR license state-level cease and desist plus fines up to $500. No BTR $150 city citation. Right-of-way operation without permit $250 plus immediate removal.
