Food truck resources in Arkansas
Arkansas requires mobile food service establishments to be permitted by the Arkansas Department of Health, which conducts inspections based on the Arkansas Food Code. All food trucks must operate from an approved commissary or servicing area for food storage, preparation, and cleaning. A state sales tax permit from the Department of Finance and Administration is also required. Cities like Little Rock have additional permitting and zoning requirements for mobile food operations.
