Food Trucks

For events that will have two or more food tucks, each food truck owner/operator must submit the following:

• City of Albuquerque (COA) Business Registration
• City of Albuquerque (COA) Fire Marshal’s Office Mechanical Permit
• Valid food permit from the City of Albuquerque Environmental Health Department, Bernalillo County, or New Mexico Environment Department 

Food Service

If you plan to (or have vendors who will) sell, serve and/or prepare food onsite you (or each vendor) will need to obtain a Temporary Food-Service Permit (for food preparation), a Temporary Retail Food Permit (for sale or distribution of prepackaged foods), and/or a Raw Produce Permit (for sale of raw, uncut produce).

Food vendors who are covered by the Homemade Food Act need not apply for temporary health permits; but must comply with the standards of the act. See Homemade Food Act FAQs.

For Markets: Vendors must obtain approval from a Market Coordinator to participate. Market vendors may obtain a Market Food Establishment Permit by submitting an application to the Environmental Health Department. This permit allows a vendor to participate at any market within the City under one permit.

All event planners and food vendors should review the Temporary Food Event Guide. For more information on temporary food permits please visit the Temporary Food Vendor page or contact the Environmental Health Department at 505-768-2738.

All vendors selling product(s) must have a current business registration to do business in the city limits. Obtain, renew or update a Business Registration, annually or temporary. Fee for a business registration is $35.
