Omaha, NE Food Trucks & Mobile Vendors: Vending Zones (2026)

Omaha Municipal Code § 11-338 spells out where a licensed mobile food vendor can set up. On the right-of-way, a vendor may sell from any spot where a vehicle is legally allowed to park, but not at a diagonal space and not in the space next to a street-corner intersection. Selling within 50 feet of the main entrance of an open permanent food establishment is off-limits unless that restaurant gives written consent. Vending on private property requires the property owner's written consent plus a temporary use permit from the planning director (unless the vendor is part of an authorized event). Metered spaces require paying the meter, and the two-hour parking limit is extended to four hours for vendors. City parks and school property both require separate written consent from the parks director or school official.
