Aurora restricts vending in residential areas, near schools, and in certain rights-of-way; parks and special event zones require additional permits.
Aurora limits where street and mobile vendors may operate. Residential zones generally prohibit unsolicited vending except ice cream trucks meeting specific safety rules. Vendors cannot operate within designated distances of schools during school hours, nor block sidewalks, fire hydrants, or ADA access. Parks and Recreation requires a separate concession or special event permit for vending within city parks. Private property vending (for example on a gas station lot) requires the property owner's written permission and compliance with the host property's zoning. Downtown or special district vending may have additional designated zones.
