Summary
Brick Township requires a license for mobile food vending carts and trucks, caps Class II vendors at 10 townshipwide, and limits stationary vending to business, commercial, industrial or office-professional zones: never residential areas or lots.
For purposes of this chapter, a licensee shall be permitted to operate in a stationary location, provided the licensee shall be located in an area zoned for business, commercial, industrial or office-professional zone. No licensee shall be permitted to operate in a stationary location in an area zoned residential or on a lot used for residential use.
C. No licensee shall operate from a stationary location on private or public property without submitting to the Township Clerk written confirmation that the licensee has sent, via certified mail, a request for the express written permission of the property owner to operate on the owner’s property. A licensee may not operate from a stationary location on private or public property if the licensee is advised, in writing, that the property owner denies the licensee permission to operate from that location.

Full Breakdown
Under Brick Township Code § 324-10, a licensed vendor can operate from a stationary location only in a zone classified business, commercial, industrial or office-professional: residential zones and residential lots are off-limits. Class II mobile food vendors, who can remain stationary up to 12 hours in one spot, are capped at 10 licenses townshipwide under § 324-7, at $250 per vehicle plus $25 per operator. Vehicle conduct rules in § 324-15 bar double-parking and require transactions to occur only from the passenger side, and § 324-8 requires the vendor's setup to clear from public property, trash-free, at the close of each business day.
Violations & Fines
Operating without a license, running in a residential zone, or violating vehicle rules is a municipal ordinance violation under § 324-24, punishable by fines and possible license revocation after notice and hearing.
