Sacramento County permits food trucks in most commercial, industrial, and mixed-use zones with property owner consent. Residential zones generally restrict vending except for special events. SB 946 requires objective health, safety, or traffic justification for sidewalk vendor location restrictions. Parks allow vending with permits.
Food truck operating locations in unincorporated Sacramento County are regulated through the Zoning Code Title 3 and, for sidewalk vendors, by SB 946 limitations. Food trucks may typically operate on private property in commercial (GC, LC), industrial (M-1, M-2), and mixed-use zones with consent of the property owner. In residential zones, mobile food vending is generally limited to special events, catered gatherings, or ice cream trucks following a route. Stationary operation on public streets is restricted to commercial corridors and subject to parking time limits and any posted no-vending zones. Sacramento County parks allow food vending with a Regional Parks permit at designated locations. Sidewalk vendors (non-motorized) are protected by SB 946 which requires the county to show objective health, safety, or traffic justification for location restrictions; blanket bans are prohibited. Specific distance buffers from schools and certified farmers markets may apply.
