Update to Mobile Food Truck Licensing
Mobile food trucks can now purchase an annual special event license. This means that food trucks will now be permitted to set up and sell at any special event without purchasing a single special event license. For more details, please download this flyer created by the City of Oklahoma City.
The mobile food service program at the OKC-County Health Department ensures proper licensing, inspection, and education of mobile food vendors throughout Oklahoma County. The program also serves as a guide for providing potential vendors with all the steps required for legal operation in Oklahoma County, as well as the proper construction of mobile food vehicles. We work hand in hand with the vendor to ensure that all processes involved with licensing, education, and inspection are informative and happen as quickly as possible.

Before purchasing a mobile, please refer to the Construction Guidelines and make sure the mobile being bought meets these guidelines. Obtain a blueprint if possible as well as pictures of the interior and exterior. Mobile requirements have recently changed, and some municipalities have additional mobile requirements, so changes could be required of your mobile before it can be licensed in Oklahoma County.
