Where a food truck may set up in Scott County depends on each city's vendor rules, the zoning district, and property-owner permission. The state license covers food safety, not location.
Shakopee, Savage, and Prior Lake each control where mobile food vendors may operate through their vendor licensing and zoning rules; the state mobile food unit license governs food safety, not siting. A truck generally works from private property whose zoning allows commercial use and with the owner's written permission, or from approved public spaces and permitted events. On-street vending is limited, and trucks may not block sidewalks, fire hydrants, or bus stops. In the unincorporated townships the Scott County zoning ordinance and property-owner consent govern instead. Downtown Shakopee and city parks may carry added conditions.
Vending where zoning does not allow it, without the owner's consent, or in a restricted location draws city enforcement and an order to relocate, and repeat violations can suspend the vendor license.
