Grand Prairie requires notarized Private Property Authorization for each food truck location. Itinerant food vendors have separate permits. No designated public vending zones — all locations require private property authorization.
Grand Prairie does not designate specific public vending zones for food trucks. All mobile food vendor locations require a notarized Private Property Authorization Form signed by the property owner or authorized agent. Operators must submit a monthly itinerary listing all planned locations by the 10th working day of each month. Itinerant Food Vendors (those who sell food at temporary events or go door-to-door) require a separate permit from the Public Health and Environmental Quality division. Food trucks may operate at special events with appropriate special event permits (Chapter 7.5). The city's UDC zoning requirements also apply to determine where food service is a permitted use.
Operating without property authorization: citation. Operating in non-permitted zoning: UDC violation.
