Jackson restricts food truck operations on public right-of-way and near brick-and-mortar restaurants. Private property vending needs owner permission and zoning compliance. Downtown Farish Street and Fondren have specific event vending rules.
The City of Jackson regulates food truck vending through its zoning code and street vending ordinances. Vending on public right-of-way within downtown Jackson requires coordination with Public Works and, for Capitol Complex areas, the Department of Finance and Administration. Trucks generally must maintain distance from existing restaurants and cannot block pedestrian paths, fire hydrants, ADA ramps, or bus stops along JATRAN routes. Event vending during Fondren After 5, Jackson State football weekends at Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium, and Mississippi State Fair requires event-specific permits. Private property vending requires written owner permission plus zoning check — C-2 and C-3 commercial districts generally permit it. Clinton and Raymond enforce similar private property and distance rules through their zoning codes.
Vending on restricted right-of-way: $100 to $500. Blocking ADA access or fire hydrant: immediate removal plus citation. Event vending without permit: $250 to $1,000.
