Street vending and designated food truck zones in Ulster County are limited. Kingston has considered food truck programs in the Uptown and Rondout areas. New Paltz and Woodstock allow mobile vending at farmers markets and festivals rather than open street vending. Private property vending with landowner consent is the most common approach.
Ulster County has no countywide vending zone designation; street vending is regulated at the municipal level under each town/village zoning code. City of Kingston regulates mobile vendors under Chapter 260 (Peddling and Soliciting) and allows food trucks on private commercial property with site plan review. Town of New Paltz permits mobile vendors at the Saturday farmers market on Main Street and at sanctioned events. Woodstock and Saugerties generally restrict street vending to special events with village/town permits. Ulster County Fairgrounds and Ulster County Department of Public Works rights-of-way prohibit vending without permit. All vendors must still hold a Ulster County Department of Health mobile food service permit and NY State Sales Tax Certificate of Authority.
Unpermitted street vending: typically $100-$500 per occurrence under town zoning codes. Operating without Health Department permit: up to $1,000 per day. Vending on public right-of-way: citation and equipment removal.
