Fla. Stat. 509.102 preempts local regulation of mobile food dispensing vehicles' licensing, but Venice may impose zoning restrictions and require a city Business Tax Receipt. State DBPR Mobile Food Dispensing license is required.
Florida's 2020 preemption law (Fla. Stat. 509.102) bars local governments from requiring a separate food-truck license, permit or fee in addition to the state DBPR license, except for normal land-use review. Venice can still require a BTR, zoning approval for where the truck operates, and compliance with parking and safety rules. Private property operation needs the property owner's consent.
Operating without a DBPR Mobile Food Dispensing Vehicle license is a state violation. City BTR and zoning violations are Code offenses under Sec. 1-14 with fines up to $500/day.
