Street vendors across Sacramento County can expect an increase in rules and regulations around their operations following a decision by the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday. Tuesday’s vote eliminated the county’s decades-long legal prohibition of sidewalk vending and brought the county more in line with state laws regarding street vending.

Beginning in March, street vendors in Sacramento County will need a health and business permit to operate. Should they fail to obtain one, they could face a $250 fine. The Sacramento Board of Supervisors approved the new regulations Tuesday morning in response to growing health and food safety concerns.

The proposal comes amid growing concerns over the safety and regulation of street vendors, including food trucks. tents, and carts.
