Wichita does not have formally designated food truck vending zones but regulates mobile vending through zoning and right-of-way permits. Food trucks may operate on private property with owner consent in most commercial and mixed-use zoning districts.
Food trucks can operate on private commercial property with the property owner's written permission. The city does not designate specific public vending zones for food trucks, but they may operate in certain public areas with appropriate permits. Food trucks must maintain a minimum distance from brick-and-mortar restaurant entrances in some areas. Trucks must not block pedestrian or vehicular traffic. Downtown and Old Town entertainment district locations are popular and may have specific event permits. Food truck rallies and events require special event permits.
Operating in unauthorized locations or blocking traffic can result in citations and towing. Failure to maintain required distances from restaurants may result in enforcement action. Operating during special events without the proper event permit is a violation.
