The Orting City Council has authorized a program to allow licensed and permitted food trucks to operate city-wide utilizing private properties (as authorized by property owner), existing street parking and other public property locations. The fee for a food truck license is $50.00 and is valid for a 12-month period. See the City of Orting Food Truck Program Guidelines for more details. 

Food trucks operating within the regulations of this program must apply for and obtain the following:

• City of Orting food truck license;
• City of Orting endorsement;
• Certificate of Insurance showing the food truck is carrying the following minimum amounts of insurance: (1) public liability insurance in an amount of not less than $1,000.000 for injuries, including those resulting in death, resulting from any one occurrence, and on account of any one accident; and (2) property damage insurance in an amount of not less than $75,000 for damages on account of any one accident or occurrence;
• Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department approval;
• Any required State Labor and Industry regulations.

A food truck is defined as a motor vehicle, or trailer, used to prepare and serve food and that vends food from a curbside location or on private property. Sales of ice cream, candy, gum, soft drinks, and similar pre-packaged products does not constitute operation of a food truck.

Food Trucks Operating in the Main Park:

Vendors must register for a free single-day parking permit through Orting Parks & Recreation (teamsideline.com) to park and operate on Van Scoyoc Ave SW, located in the Main City Park and shall not block any business or parking lot entrances. Offerings will allow a maximum of three vendors per day.
