Apply for a Hot Dog Cart Plan Review Only

To begin Florida's food service licensing process, the law requires the division to review facility plans for sanitation and safety concerns. Plan review is required when the establishment is: 1) newly built, 2) converted from another use, 3) remodeled or 4) re-opened after being closed at least 1 year. The application process described below is for a new Hot Dog Cart plan review only. **This application requires a follow-up license application. For the vast majority of applicants the New Hot Dog Cart License and Plan Review at the Same Time is the best way to become licensed.

Application Requirements:
 
  • Application: choose the correct application for your situation (Guide to Mobile Food Dispensing Vehicles)
  • For Plan Review:

    • Plans: scale drawing or architectural plans showing and labeling all equipment, restrooms, and exits (see Plan Review Guide)
    • Menu: a copy of your menu, printed, typed, or handwritten
    • Photo: a picture of the cart with wheels showing
    • Water/Sewer: self-sufficient vehicles MUST use a commercial (non-residential) water/sewer location or a licensed commissary for water and waste service. This will be your License Location address

    Please provide ALL required items at time of application to avoid delay.

  • Note: This application does not include a license and provides plan review approval only. You can use this for a remodel on an existing vehicle. For new vehicles we recommend the License and Plan Review at the same time (COMBO) application, or you will need to follow-up with a license application once plan review is approved.

    The follow-up license application is only available through your online account once the plan review is approved.


If you have questions or need assistance in completing this application, please call the Customer Contact Center at 850-487-1395.
