  • Location and parking rules: where and when food trucks may vend (public rights-of-way, private property, special event zones), time limits, distance restrictions from brick-and-mortar food businesses, and signage rules.
  • Local vs. state authority: clarification of municipal zoning powers and any preemption or limits on local regulation.
  • Fees and enforcement: permit fees, fines for violations, and enforcement mechanisms.
  • Utility and infrastructure requirements: wastewater disposal, power hookups, and grease management.
