Erie regulates mobile food vending through the Codified Ordinances licensing chapter and zoning rules, paired with Erie County Department of Health licensing for mobile food facilities. Vendors need a City peddler or mobile-vendor license and must avoid posted no-vending zones and sidewalk obstructions.
Mobile food vending in the City of Erie is regulated by the licensing chapter of the Codified Ordinances administered by the City Clerk's Office, plus City zoning rules and Erie County Department of Health licensing of the mobile food facility itself. Operators need a City mobile-vendor or peddler license with proof of insurance. Vending is generally allowed on private commercial property with the owner's permission and in posted public vending zones (such as Bayfront frontage and sanctioned events), and is restricted near school entrances during school hours, in posted no-vending zones, in residential districts, and anywhere blocking sidewalks, fire lanes, or curb cuts. Pennsylvania's adopted FDA Food Code governs food preparation.
Vending without a current City license, vending in posted no-vending zones, blocking sidewalks or fire lanes, or lacking an Erie County Health mobile license violates the Codified Ordinances. MDJ citations bring escalating fines and possible license revocation.
