Casa Grande, AZ Food Trucks & Mobile Vendors: Vending Zones (2026)

Casa Grande Municipal Code Section 5.16.040(H) generally bars mobile food vendors from operating in areas zoned single-family residential. Five exceptions apply: an ice cream or frozen-novelty truck may vend from a right-of-way or private street without impeding traffic, provided it does not park within three hundred feet of the same spot for more than one hour in an eight-hour period; a unit may park directly adjacent to a private residence with the owner's express permission for no more than four days a year, capped at three units at once; a unit may operate on non-residential private property with the owner's written permission and an approved Temporary Use Permit; a unit may park adjacent to a public park on the same side of the street as the park; or a unit may operate under a special event permit.

On city-owned property, a vendor may only use a legal parking space in the right-of-way; using any other city property requires advance permission from the Deputy City Manager, generally requested at least ninety-six hours ahead. On private property outside residential zones, the vendor needs the owner's written permission and a Temporary Use Permit, with proof provided to the city upon request.
