Plant City designates food truck operation in commercial and industrial zones by right. Downtown events (Strawberry Festival, Winterfest) have designated vending zones assigned by festival organizers. No operation in public parks without park permit.
Plant City Land Development Code permits mobile vendors in C-1, C-2, and industrial districts on private property with owner consent. McCall Park and other public spaces require a special event permit for vending. The annual Florida Strawberry Festival (early March) attracts large numbers of vendors who operate under festival permits. Food truck rallies at private venues (Keel and Curley Winery, Keel Farms area) operate under the property owners zoning. No street vending permitted on public rights-of-way without ROW permit.
Unauthorized vending in parks: 250 dollar fine and removal. ROW vending without permit: cease-and-desist and citation.
