Schaumburg designates approved locations for mobile food vending. Food trucks must operate from permitted areas and cannot set up within restricted distances of brick-and-mortar restaurants or in residential zones.
The Village of Schaumburg regulates where mobile food vendors may operate through its licensing and zoning ordinances. Food trucks are generally permitted in commercial and industrial zoning districts and must maintain minimum distances from established restaurants. Vending on Village-owned property requires Village approval. Food trucks may not operate on residential streets or in residential zoning districts unless part of a Village-approved special event. Approved vending areas include select commercial parking lots with property owner permission, designated event spaces, and Village-approved temporary vending zones. Food trucks must not obstruct traffic flow, pedestrian pathways, fire lanes, or loading zones. The Village has periodically organized food truck rallies in commercial areas like the Schaumburg Town Square and other public gathering spaces.
Vending from unauthorized locations results in citation and fines. Repeated violations may lead to license revocation.
