October 23, 2017

Sandy Springs, Ga. will permit food trucks to operate in commercial, mixed use and perimeter zoned areas under an ordinance approved by the city council.

Food trucks will be able to get a yearly permit to operate up to five different properties and have the option to apply for multiple permits, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution. The truck owner must have a valid business license, health permit from the state department of public health, and written permission from a property owner.

Sales of alcohol and non-food items are prohibited. There are also restrictions on tenting, noise and signage.

Food trucks will not be permitted within 100 feet of a single-family or two-family residence. In addition, trucks will not be allowed on the same property as a restaurant, unless the owner owns the truck.
