Food truck vending locations in unincorporated San Diego County are subject to zoning restrictions and property owner consent. Mobile food vehicles may operate on private property with owner permission. Public right-of-way vending may require additional approvals.
Mobile food operations in unincorporated San Diego County must comply with zoning regulations regarding where they can operate. Operating on private property requires written consent from the property owner or lessee. Vending on public rights-of-way may require encroachment permits from the County Department of Public Works. County parks may have designated food vendor areas with separate permit requirements. Mobile food vendors must not obstruct traffic, pedestrian access, or emergency vehicle access. Some planned communities and HOAs may restrict food truck operations. The County DEHQ permit does not grant location permission — operators must separately secure the right to operate at each location.
Operating in prohibited locations may result in citations from Code Compliance or the Sheriff's Department. Zoning violations carry fines and potential permit revocation.
