Daytona Beach, FL Food Trucks & Mobile Vendors: Vending Zones (2026)

Sec. 103-2(c) of the Daytona Beach Code of Ordinances lays out where a mobile food vendor vehicle or food trailer may set up. Vending is barred from any private property unless the vendor has the owner's written consent, and it cannot occur at all on property developed with a single-family or duplex dwelling. Wherever vending is otherwise permitted, it must stay 250 feet from private property developed with a single-family or duplex dwelling, measured to the closest exterior wall of the dwelling, unless the resident consents in writing; that buffer does not apply to mobile produce vending or to properties with a place of worship, and it cannot be waived through a planned development rezoning or a semi-public use permit.

A separate carve-out blacks out an entire area near the college: vending is prohibited on, and adjacent to, properties bounded by N Halifax Avenue/University Boulevard, Glenview Boulevard/N Halifax Avenue, Glenview Boulevard/N Grandview Avenue and N Grandview Avenue/University Boulevard. Vendors selling prepared food must also stay 250 feet from a licensed eating establishment during its operating hours absent the owner's consent, and mobile produce vendors must stay 500 feet from a licensed grocery store or produce stand. Sec. 103-2(c)(9)-(10) additionally bars blocking visibility at intersections and driveways or impeding building or emergency exits, loading zones and accessible parking, and (c)(13) bans vending on any vacant or unimproved lot.
