Weber County, UT Food Trucks & Mobile Vendors: Food Truck Permits (2026)

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.
