Greenwood, IN Food Trucks & Mobile Vendors: Vending Zones (2026)

Section 4-107 opens by declaring that no person may operate a mobile food truck except in accordance with the provisions that follow, and subsection (a) confines lawful vending to public parking lots or other public property, and only where the operator holds a valid use agreement with the entity that owns that lot or property. That use agreement is layered on top of, not a substitute for, the underlying license Section 4-103 requires of every peddler, solicitor, street vendor, or mobile food truck vendor; a food truck application under 4-103 must include a copy of the Board of Health permit for the vehicle, a photograph of the truck, and vehicle registration where applicable.

The remaining conditions in Section 4-107 round out where and how a truck may operate once the agreement is in place: subsection (c) bars any electronic or amplified noise while conducting business, subsection (d) limits signage to what is permanently affixed to the vehicle (except canopies or umbrellas needed for inclement weather), and subsection (e) requires the vendor to collect and dispose of all trash and debris its operation generates. The Controller, Police Department, and Department of Community Development Services all take part in reviewing the underlying vendor license, and enforcement of the vending-zone rule itself falls to the Greenwood Police Department on the street.
