In 2018 the Mobile Vending Policy was adopted by the City of Vernon. Mobile vendors require a business licence to operate, written approval from the Fire Department, insurance, and photos provided with business licence application.
If vendors are offering a menu containing 50% local food, a reduction in fees is provided. If operating on private property, written permission from the property owner shall be provided to the City.
Operation on one of the pre-approved locations in the City is on a first-come-first-serve basis and the operators shall self-schedule.
