Mobile Food Truck

Florida legislation, Section 509.102 effective July 1, 2020, allows mobile food trucks to operate within the City of Greenacres municipal limits without the need to acquire any additional licensing, business tax receipt or permit beyond a State license (Mobile Food Service) from the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), Division of Hotels and Restaurants.  The DBPR call center can be reached at (850) 487-1395 or through their email correspondence portal at myfloridalicense.com/dbpr/.
