Mobile vending on private commercial property is generally allowed with owner consent. Sidewalk vending protected under SB 946/SB 972 but subject to reasonable time/place/manner rules. Vending in residential zones and city parks is restricted.
SB 946 (2018) decriminalized sidewalk vending statewide; SB 972 (2022) liberalized mobile food vendor health permits. Clovis can set time/place/manner rules only if narrowly tailored to public health, safety, or accessibility. Vending prohibited within a certain distance of schools, special events without a permit, and in a manner blocking ADA access. Near public parks, vending typically requires Parks & Rec approval or a special event permit.
Vending without required permits in restricted zones: administrative fines (not criminal under SB 946) typically $100–$500.
