Before you apply
A local health food permit does not replace the City of Cheyenne mobile food license or location approvals.
The city code names mobile food trucks, mobile food units, pushcarts, food stands, and temporary parade vendors.
Markets, fairs, festivals, parades, and temporary locations can add event-specific paperwork and organizer requirements.
Cooking equipment, generators, propane, and open flame can trigger fire-safety checks before vending.
