Street vendor permits in Henderson, NV — sometimes called sidewalk vendor licenses, mobile vendor permits, or peddler permits — are the licenses required to sell goods or food on public property.
Henderson requires a business license and mobile vendor permit under HMC Title 4 for any vending activity, plus Southern Nevada Health District food permits for any operation selling prepared food or drinks.
Street vending in Henderson is regulated through a combination of HMC Title 4 business licensing, Title 19 zoning, and Southern Nevada Health District food safety permits. Any person conducting sales from a mobile unit (truck, trailer, cart, stand) must obtain a Henderson business license. Food vendors must also hold a valid SNHD Mobile Food Establishment permit, pass inspections, and operate from an approved commissary. Permitted vending locations are limited, with most public right-of-way vending prohibited. Special event vending at festivals like WaterStreet District events, farmers markets, and holiday events requires event-specific permits. Ice cream trucks and similar mobile vendors have specific rules requiring them to be actively moving between stops and not idling for extended periods in residential zones. Sidewalk vending in shopping centers requires written landowner permission. Penalties for unpermitted vending include citations, cease-and-desist orders, and seizure of products in health violation cases.
