Nassau County, FL Food Trucks & Mobile Vendors: Vending Zones (2026)

Section 18½-100(2)a limits mobile food vending in unincorporated Nassau County to three location types: developed sites carrying a commercial or industrial zoning classification, developed private property used for a legally permitted civic, institutional or recreational purpose, and county-owned property during a county-sponsored event. Each of these sites must also satisfy the siting conditions in subsections (2)b through (2)i: the vending vehicle cannot sit in a required front or side yard setback, landscape area, easement, jurisdictional wetland, wetland buffer or similar protected area, and the site must provide paved parking (or an approved alternative surface) for the truck's own customers in addition to the parking required for the underlying business.

The rule is written to keep food trucks off vacant land, stating it is the article's intent to prohibit use of a MFVV on undeveloped parcels or developed sites lacking adequate space and infrastructure. A vendor also cannot block vehicle or pedestrian sightlines or damage landscaping, and operation on any state roadway, state right-of-way or state property is barred outside the county-event exception. The Planning and Economic Opportunity Department reviews siting compliance, and the same article's inspection and documentation duties apply to every approved location.
