Lodi City Council Updates Vending Regulations for Food Vendors
What happened
The City Council of Lodi updated its vending regulations on September 21, 2026. New rules make permits available for food vendors, who must obtain a City of Lodi business license, a peddler’s license, a Board of Equalization seller’s permit, and a San Joaquin County Environmental Health permit. Mobile hot food vendors must also receive inspection and approval from the Lodi fire marshal.

Why it matters
The revision addresses previous limitations that capped mobile food vendors at 25, which had led to waiting lists. The change requires vendors to meet multiple regulatory standards, potentially increasing operational costs and administrative requirements for food businesses in Lodi.
