About each permit
Vending Cart / Food Cart Right-of-Way Permit
Only required when a cart is sited on the public sidewalk/right-of-way rather than on private property; a cart on private property instead needs PP&D zoning sign-off and, for two or more carts, the Food Cart Pod license recorded separately. Processing takes 6-8 weeks from application to permit issuance.
