New Food Vendor Fee Effective July 1, 2025
On May 6, 2025, the Tracy City Council approved updates to the 2025 Master Fee Schedule, which includes the introduction of a new $100 food vendor fee for participation in City-hosted community events. This fee will go into effect on July 1, 2025.
Food vendors who do not currently hold a mobile health permit will be required to obtain one, which carries a separate cost.
Annual Vendor Outreach & Application Process
Each year, our seasonal event planning begins with outreach to food vendors listed in the City's master database, including those with valid City of Tracy business licenses. A mass email is sent inviting vendors to participate.
To be considered for upcoming events, vendors must:
- Complete and return an event application indicating which events they wish to attend
- Provide proof of a valid City of Tracy business license
- Submit a current San Joaquin County health permit
Applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, and all fees related to licensing and permits are the vendor’s responsibility.
This structured process ensures regulatory compliance, streamlines coordination, and promotes a safe and successful experience for everyone involved.
