Summary

A mobile food trailer or kiosk in unincorporated Weber County is licensed as a short-term vendor under Section 108-13-3: a design review application, site plan, health department water/sanitation approval, and a business license that expires after 120 days.

These county ordinances apply to unincorporated areas of Weber County. Incorporated cities within the county may have their own rules that take precedence over county-level regulations.

Short-term vendor consists of the sales of goods and/or services from a trailer, yurt, mobile store, or kiosk on a commercially zoned property or property located within a ski resort boundary. Application for a short-term vendor is subject to the following requirements: A design review application. Site plan. Required application fees. ... Water and sanitation facility plans to be approved by the Local Health Department. Signage plan. A building permit for temporary power. A land use permit shall be obtained for a short-term vendor. A short-term vendor's business license expires 120 consecutive days after the date of issuance.

Full Breakdown

Section 108-13-3 defines a short-term vendor as sales of goods and/or services "from a trailer, yurt, mobile store, or kiosk on a commercially zoned property or property located within a ski resort boundary," the category that covers a mobile food operation. Getting licensed requires a design review application, a site plan, payment of the required application fees (the code notes these fees match the home-occupation-with-visiting-clientele fee), water and sanitation facility plans approved by the Local Health Department, a signage plan, and a building permit for temporary power.

A land use permit is required before operating, and critically, "A short-term vendor's business license expires 120 consecutive days after the date of issuance," meaning a mobile food vendor must reapply roughly every four months to keep operating legally at a fixed commercial site. The section sits in Chapter 108-13 alongside Temporary Outdoor Sales (seasonal lots, capped at 30 days after the associated holiday) and Farmer's Markets (running June through October, or through December if part of an agri-tourism operation), both of which carry the same Local Health Department food/water-and-sanitation review step for any vendor selling food or beverages.

Because the county's zoning reaches unincorporated Weber County only, a mobile food operation must confirm it sits on commercially zoned land outside Ogden, Roy, and the county's other incorporated cities, which issue their own mobile vendor permits.

Violations & Fines

Operating a short-term vendor without the required land use permit, an expired 120-day business license, or without Local Health Department water/sanitation approval is an unpermitted land use, subject to the county's general land use enforcement and permit revocation authority under Section 102-4-3.

Frequently Asked Questions
