Mobile Vendor Permits are required for any business that is offering food, merchandise or services for sale from a mobile or portable unit, rather than from a permanent storefront location. Examples include businesses such as food trucks, produce/fish trucks or ice cream vendors. 

Applications can be made by submitting the application form and supporting documentation. The application requirements vary depending upon the type of business and whether the vendor is operating on City property or private property. All vendors must provide:

• A completed application form;
• The required application fee;
• A site plan of the proposed vending location(s) identifying the Vending Unit and setback distances;
• A Property Owner Authorization Form;
• Photos/drawings of the Vending Unit.

The City may also require an applicant to submit, where applicable:

• A weekly schedule of operating locations and hours;
• Proof of valid Alberta Health Services Food Handling Permit;
• Proof of Vehicle Registration and Insurance;
• Proof of $2,000,000 general liability insurance (if operating on City property);
• Waste Disposal Plan;
• Letters of non-objection from affected businesses;
• Proof that the Vending Unit has passed a Safety Codes Inspection and Fire Inspection within the last year
  • Sample inspection sheets: Food Truck Plumbing and Gas Inspection Form | Food Truck Electrical Inspection Form | Food Truck Ventilation Form. These documents can be obtained after inspection of your unit from The Inspections Group Cold Lake. To schedule an inspection, please call 780-594-4301.
