About each permit
Vending Permit for Essex County Parks (1 Day)
This applies only to selling in an Essex County park or on County park property, for example a food truck, coffee cart or retail stand at a park event. Under Essex County Code §74-27B, no person may offer anything for sale, or station a stand, cart or vehicle for sale or display, in a County park or property except under the authority and regulation of the Director of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs. The §74-30 fee table, an adopted ordinance last amended on 2-6-2026 by Ordinance O-2026-00001, lists under Special Events a "Vending permit fee (1 day)" of "$50 to $500"; the figure here is that printed range. The Parks permits office can be reached at 973-735-6228.
