Rankin County cities restrict food truck locations through zoning. Brandon and Pearl generally permit food trucks in commercial zones with property-owner consent. No statewide distance rule; municipalities set their own buffers from restaurants.
Vending zones for food trucks in Rankin County are set by each municipality's zoning code, not by state law. Mississippi Dillon's Rule gives cities authority under §17-1 (zoning) and §27-17 (privilege licensing) to regulate where mobile vendors may operate. Brandon, Pearl, Flowood, and Richland typically allow food trucks in C-2 General Commercial and C-3 Highway Commercial districts with written property owner permission; residential zones are generally off-limits. Operations on public right-of-way or in city parks usually require a special-event permit. Common restrictions include minimum distance from fixed restaurants (commonly 100-200 feet, though not uniformly enforced), prohibition on blocking sight triangles at intersections, and no overnight parking on vending sites. Brandon's downtown events (concerts, festivals at City Hall lawn) and Pearl's Trustmark Park area often host permitted vendor zones. Ross Barnett Reservoir parks under PRVWSD jurisdiction require separate vendor authorization.
Vending in residential zone: zoning violation $100-$500 per day. No property owner consent: trespass citation. Blocking sight triangle: immediate move-along order. Vending in city park without permit: $100-$500.
