Mobile County sets no vending zones or location districts for food trucks; it cannot zone unincorporated land. An approved mobile unit may operate wherever the property owner allows, subject only to Health Department approval and traffic-safety rules on public roads.
The county has no authority to designate where food trucks may or may not park in unincorporated areas, so there are no vending-zone maps, distance-from-restaurant buffers, or commissary-radius limits imposed by the county. Location is a matter of private property permission, and along state highways the Alabama DOT controls the right-of-way. The county's only regulatory lever over a mobile unit is health approval by the Mobile County Health Officer, which addresses food safety rather than location. Cities such as Mobile do impose vending-location rules inside their limits.
The county issues no vending-zone citations in unincorporated areas. Vending without the property owner's consent is civil trespass, and blocking a county road or a state highway right-of-way draws traffic enforcement.
