Opening a New Food Truck? (Transitory Food Units)
​
To being your application for a Transitory Food Unit (TFU) and Mobile Food Establishment license, you will need to submit a completed plan review along with the required fee.
​
After submitting your completed plan review, a specialist will review your paperwork within 30 days. More information on the plan review process can be found here.

Once our specialists approve your plan review, you will pay a license fee and schedule a pre-opening inspection with the plan review specialist.
