No designated food truck vending zones in unincorporated Pima County. Trucks operate on private property with owner permission. County ROW and parks need separate permits.
Unlike the City of Tucson, unincorporated Pima County has no designated food truck vending zones or corridors. Food trucks generally operate on private commercial property with written landowner permission. Operating within county road right-of-way requires a Pima County Department of Transportation encroachment permit. Food trucks at county parks or facilities must obtain a special use permit from Pima County Natural Resources, Parks and Recreation. Setback requirements from roadways and neighboring residential properties may apply under Pima County zoning code Chapter 18.07. No time limits are imposed on food truck operations on private property, though noise ordinance compliance (Chapter 9.30) is required during evening hours.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
