    1. Kevin P. Please explain your reasoning. It seems that permits for food trucks should just insure health and safety.

    2. Ok, each jurisdiction has to provide: police, fire, emt service, 911 service, and counties provide health departments. Sewage, water, and streets are also provided. None of those services are free. If food trucks are selling and making a profit in those jurisdictions, then they need to pay for the mentioned services, like other businesses operating there.

  1. Ugh insure v ensure.

    Anyway, it’s not as if storefront establishments enjoy lax regulation. There are valid reasons for similar application to food trucks and I don’t buy the protectionism argument.

  2. Why wouldn’t they be subject to stern regulation? Typical brick-and-mortar restaurants have pages and pages of strict regulations they must follow. Most of which are designed to protect customers from food-borne illness, and protect workers against unsafe conditions. Food trucks are fun, but they should be strongly regulated because they’re not tethered to a firm location, which makes sanitation a different bargain. FWIW, a typical new restaurant has to get 12-14 permits, everything from zoning to health, and spend three times the food truck fees.

    1. Regulations wouldn’t vary by 400% if it was state standard. Noblesville is just ripping them off. Someone is getting bribed for that.
