Mobile food carts and trucks operating in unincorporated Pima County must meet Pima County Health Department standards for mobile food units. Carts require NSF-approved equipment, potable water supply, wastewater containment, and current health permits displayed visibly.
Pima County Health Department regulates mobile food carts and trucks under the Arizona Food Code (AAC R9-8). All mobile food units must submit a plan review application before beginning operations, detailing equipment layout, menu, water supply, and waste disposal methods. Carts must have adequate handwashing facilities, NSF-certified or equivalent food contact surfaces, proper hot and cold holding equipment, and a commissary agreement for cleaning and supply replenishment. Push carts with limited menus (pre-packaged foods, hot dogs, tamales) have reduced requirements compared to full mobile food trucks. Propane-powered carts must comply with NFPA 58 standards and fire marshal inspection. Pima County does not regulate cart dimensions or design beyond health and safety standards. Vendors must carry current health permits and post them visibly on the cart. Operating near schools requires additional clearance and background check considerations. The county health department conducts routine and complaint-based inspections of all mobile food units.
Operating without a health permit: immediate closure. Critical health violations (temperature, contamination): suspension pending correction. Reinspection fees apply. Repeat violations can result in permit revocation.
