Mobile Food Vending

Since the fall of 2019 the City Administrator's Office has been accepting applications and issuing permits for sidewalk mobile food vendors.

  • To make it easier for food trucks and trailers to legally vend, the City is in the process of amending our Mobile Food Vending Ordinance. For information on proposed changes and opportunities to share your ideas sign up here to join our list serve.
  • In the mean time, food trucks and trailers can legally vend by obtaining a special event permit issued by the Special Event Permit Unit of the Oakland Police Department. Visit the Special Event Permit Unit website for details.
