Arlington regulates food truck locations through the UDC and mobile vending ordinances. Food trucks operate in commercial areas, the entertainment district, and at special events with appropriate permits.
Mobile food vendors may operate in commercial zones and designated areas. The entertainment district near AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field is a popular food truck area during events. Private property requires owner permission. Vendors must not obstruct traffic or fire access. Special event permits are needed for food truck gatherings. Distance requirements may apply near restaurants.
Vending in prohibited zones results in citations. Obstructing traffic or fire lanes triggers enforcement. Operating without permits is subject to fines.
