Mobile food vendors or food trucks are allowed in some zoning districts on a temporary basis according to the parameters of the license program.  You will also need to coordinate with the Montgomery County Health Department to operate a food truck.

To apply for a license to operate a food truck in the Town, use our online application portal OpenGov.
