Food vendor & event permit support

For food vendors and mobile food owners

Starting a booth, food cart, truck or trailer? SCS helps organize environmental health applications, supporting documents, outstanding requests and agency follow-up. We can help you prepare questions about your menu, operating location, commissary and current stage.

Multi-event vendor permits

Selling at several Sacramento County events? Ask about the county's Multi-Event Vendor (MEV) permit route. The appropriate permit depends on your operation and the events you attend. A multi-event permit does not replace every event, mobile-food or local requirement. SCS provides administrative application support; the county decides eligibility and approval.

For event organizers and referral partners

When a prospective vendor needs permit help, give them a place to start. Share this page and ask the vendor to contact SCS directly. We help organize vendor paperwork and next steps, and can discuss application-package coordination with organizers. Sacramento County asks organizers to submit community-event packages at least two weeks before the event; plan earlier for preparation and follow-up.

For food-cart and trailer manufacturers

Give buyers administrative support for the next stage of their food business. SCS can help organize customer documents and questions for county environmental health, builders and the appropriate HCD contacts. HCD insignia review concerns applicable vehicle design and construction standards. It is separate from the county health permit. New factory-built units and existing or altered units can follow different approval routes.

Start with a short project outline

Tell us your business or referral role, city and county, food operation, current stage, target event date and the help you need. Vendors can mention who referred them. Do not send IDs, account numbers, private client records or sensitive financial documents in your first inquiry.

Independent support. Clear expectations.

SCS is an independent business consulting service, not a government agency or HCD approval body. We do not issue permits or insignias, guarantee approvals or timelines, or replace licensed design, construction or legal professionals. Requirements and agency fees are set by the responsible authorities.
