Food trucks in Port St. Lucie must operate in commercial, industrial, or mixed-use zoning districts with property-owner permission. Operation on residential streets, in parks, or on public rights-of-way generally prohibited without special event permit.
While FL §509.102 preempts local licensing, it preserves local authority over zoning and location. Port St. Lucie permits food trucks on private commercial/industrial/mixed-use properties with written owner consent. Operation on residential streets, single-family zones, or unpermitted public rights-of-way is not allowed. Food trucks at private events (weddings, parties) on residential property are permitted for temporary catering without a special event permit. Operation in city parks or at city-sponsored events requires a Special Event Permit from Parks and Recreation. Setback from brick-and-mortar restaurants no longer permitted under state preemption. Trash/waste cleanup and gray water disposal are the operator's responsibility.
Operating in prohibited zone: $100-500/day. No event permit for city park: citation plus removal.
