Broken Arrow, OK Food Trucks & Mobile Vendors: Vending Zones (2026)

Under TRO §10-402, food trucks in the City of Tulsa may operate on: (1) private commercial property with written owner permission, (2) designated public vending zones including the Tulsa Arts District and Blue Dome District during approved hours, and (3) city-sanctioned festivals and events via special event permit. Trucks must stay at least 100 feet from the main entrance of any permitted brick-and-mortar restaurant unless the restaurant owner provides written consent. 300-foot setback from schools during school hours (7 AM to 4 PM). Maximum continuous operation at a single non-event location: 4 hours before relocation required. Cannot block sidewalks, fire hydrants, bus stops (Tulsa Transit MTTA), or ADA access ramps. Generator noise must comply with TRO Title 24 (65 dB(A) at property line). Mother Road Market, Tulsa Fairgrounds Expo Square, and Gathering Place have private operator agreements that supersede general city rules. Unincorporated Tulsa County has no vending zone restrictions — only private property owner permission required. Tulsa County Fair (September) issues its own vendor permits through the Tulsa County Public Facilities Authority.
