Background

On April 26, 2011, Boulder City Council passed an ordinance allowing mobile food vehicles, under certain conditions, in some areas of the City of Boulder. As of June 1, 2011, in order to legally operate a mobile food vehicle, you must apply for and receive a mobile food vehicle license from the City of Boulder licensing division. Both the licensing and planning and development services departments will review and process applications for mobile food vehicles (MFVs).

How it Affects Your Business

Please see the main BRC section on Mobile Food Vehicles (and any other related sections) to understand how it affects your business: BRC 9-6-5 (d).

More Information

We expect the MFV licensing process to take approximately 4 weeks, from application to license issuance, for each applicant. MFV licenses will be valid until Dec. 31st of the year issued.

To help us best serve all of our licensing customers, we request that you make an appointment if you need to meet with the licensing department in person.
