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

01, reaching a food truck's serving vehicle as much as a fixed restaurant. 02(C) lets a seasonal or mobile retail food establishment operate at various locations within the county, provided the operator submits a schedule of events disclosing the dates and locations where food will be served. 02(B). Because the location requirement is a disclosure obligation rather than a zoning restriction, a truck can move between sites named on its filed schedule without a separate land-use approval for each stop, though it still needs the underlying permit issued by the County Health Department and, where the stop sits on private property, the consent of that property's owner.

The schedule requirement gives the Health Department a way to inspect a mobile operation at the location and time it says it will be serving food, and a truck that shows up somewhere not on its filed schedule is outside the terms of its own permit even though the chapter itself sets no county-wide exclusion zone.
