Urban Honolulu food truck operators must hold a ROH Chapter 13 Article 6 peddler's license plus a state Mobile Food Establishment permit and Hawaii general excise tax license.
Food trucks working Urban Honolulu streets and private lots fall under Article 6 of ROH Chapter 13. Section 13-6.1 sets the annual peddler's license fee at $27.50. Section 13-6.2 dictates where vending may occur and is especially restrictive in urban cores. Section 13-6.3 bans deceptive sales practices, and 13-6.4 establishes penalties. Beyond the City license, operators need a Hawaii Department of Health Mobile Food Establishment permit with a commissary agreement and a Hawaii general excise tax license. Location choice must also respect LUO zoning and private property owner consent.
Operating without a peddler's license or Mobile Food Establishment permit can draw citations, vehicle impoundment, and fines under ROH 13-6.4 and state health rules.
