Coral Springs, FL Food Trucks & Mobile Vendors: Sidewalk & Mobile Vending (2026)

1 of the Coral Springs Code of Ordinances makes it unlawful for any person, natural or corporate, to conduct business from within the public right-of-way anywhere in the city. The ban explicitly names "the sale of food of any kind, goods, wares or merchandise from a vehicle whether motorized or not, regardless of the number of wheels affixed thereto, or on foot," closing off pushcarts, bicycle carts and walking vendors along with trucks and trailers. The only way around the prohibition is a temporary use permit issued by the city that authorizes a mobile food vendor to operate from a single stationary location; roaming or curb-hopping sales are not permitted even with a permit.

The rule sits inside Chapter 18 (Traffic and Motor Vehicles), so it is enforced as a traffic and rights-of-way matter rather than through the business-tax receipt office, and it applies citywide rather than to specific commercial corridors. A vendor operating on private property with the owner's consent, subject to any separate zoning or occupational-license rules, falls outside this particular section. 1(b) authorizes the city to impound the vending vehicle on the spot. Coral Springs has not published a companion fee schedule for sidewalk-only pushcarts, so any unpermitted cart or truck selling from the right-of-way is picked up the same way a truck would be.
