Mobile vending in Aurora public rights-of-way is highly restricted; most operations occur on private property with owner approval, with time limits on public streets.
Aurora's mobile vending rules in City Code Chapter 118 restrict food truck and vendor operations in public rights-of-way. Vending in residential zones from city streets is prohibited except for ice cream trucks with specific permits. In commercial zones, trucks may not park in one location for more than 4 hours in a 24-hour period on a public street. Vending in city parks requires a Parks and Recreation permit and is limited to designated events. Most food trucks operate on private property (breweries, office parks, apartment complexes) with owner written permission. Proximity restrictions: no vending within 200 feet of a competing brick-and-mortar restaurant without that business's consent at some locations.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Aurora code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
