Apply for permit to operate food truck, cart and other mobile food facilities
View List of Approved Mobile Food Facilities
Mobile food facilities (MFFs) are trucks, trailers, vans, carts, or any portable units used to prepare, sell, or transport food. All MFFs conducting business in the County of Santa Clara must have a valid permit from the County of Santa Clara Department of Environmental Health (DEH). DEH conducts inspections of all MFFs that operate within the County to ensure the food is safe for the public.
As we maintain close communication with other jurisdictions, please note you will be unable to operate in the County of Santa Clara if your mobile food permit is suspended by another County or City jurisdiction. MFF owners must visit the cities they plan to operate and obtain permits if required.
We will receive all payments, applications, and/or submittals during our business transaction hours of 7:30 am - 4:15 pm, Monday through Friday. For more information on our Mobile Food Facility (MFF) Program, please see the links below.
