Washington County publishes no food-truck vending-zone map for unincorporated areas; where a truck may set up turns on the parcel's land-use and the owner's permission. The tight vending rules and buffers live in the cities, mainly Fayetteville and Springdale.
In unincorporated Washington County there is no county distance-from-restaurant buffer or designated vending district, so a mobile unit operates where the parcel's land use allows commercial vending and only with the property owner's consent; the county's main lever over the truck is the health permit, which addresses food safety rather than location. The detailed location rules are municipal: Fayetteville and Springdale regulate where mobile vendors may park, set-up duration, and spacing inside their limits. Along state highways the Arkansas Department of Transportation controls the right-of-way. Private-property vending on a commercial lot still needs the owner's permission and must not block access or sight lines.
Vending where land use does not allow it can draw county enforcement, and vending without owner consent is civil trespass. Inside a city, violating that city's mobile-vendor rules brings municipal citations.
