Food truck resources in Maryland
Maryland requires mobile food vendors to obtain a food service facility license from the local county health department. The Maryland Department of Health sets statewide food safety regulations under COMAR Title 10. Food trucks must pass a health inspection and maintain a commissary agreement. A Maryland sales and use tax license is required, as is a trader's license from the Clerk of the Circuit Court. Baltimore, Montgomery County, and Prince George's County each have their own mobile vendor ordinances.
