Food truck resources in Nevada
Nevada regulates mobile food vendors through local health districts rather than at the state level. The Southern Nevada Health District (covering Las Vegas) and the Washoe County Health District (covering Reno) each issue mobile food establishment permits and conduct inspections. Food trucks must maintain a commissary agreement and undergo plan review. A Nevada state business license is required, along with a sales tax permit. Las Vegas has detailed mobile food vendor regulations including distance requirements from permanent restaurants.
