Food trucks operating in Tinley Park must obtain a Village mobile food vendor license and a Cook County or Will County health permit depending on commissary location. Public street vending is largely restricted to permitted events.
The Village of Tinley Park regulates mobile food vendors through its business licensing and health code provisions. Operators must obtain a Village mobile food vendor license, provide proof of Illinois business registration, vehicle and equipment inspection, a commissary agreement, and food handler/manager certification. Because Tinley Park straddles Cook and Will Counties, vendors must obtain a food service sanitation permit from the applicable county health department (Cook County Department of Public Health or Will County Health Department). Public street vending is generally prohibited except at permitted special events such as the Halloween Parade, Taste of Tinley, and Block Party events. Private-property vending requires written owner permission, zoning compliance, and separation from brick-and-mortar restaurants.
License violations: $250-$750 per occurrence. Health code violations enforced by county up to $1,000. Operating without a license may result in impoundment.
