Need a License for Your Food Truck? The Process Just Got Easier

 


Austin Public Health’s Environmental Health Services Division (EHSD) has started a pilot program to simplify the process to get a mobile food vendor license. Previously, applicants had to schedule an appointment to have their application reviewed for approval. The new pilot program, which began on July 17, allows for applicants to come into the EHSD office located at 1520 Rutherford Ln., Building 1, Suite 205 Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. for review of their application without an appointment. Bilingual staff are available to assist with application review and further information. 

This new pilot program comes in response to an 87% increase in applications for mobile food vendor licenses since last year. For more information on fees and the application process, visit our Mobile Vendors License page.
