HEALTH PERMIT REQUIREMENTS AND FEES:

Vendors at the Market selling any food for human consumption require a separate temporary health permit from the City of Mesquite's Health Department. This includes produce farms, cottage food operations, and eateries/food service/food trucks. You can email the Health Official Barry Jenkins at bjenkins@cityofmesquite.com or Mary Alva at malva@cityofmesquite.com or call 972-216-8138 for more information. Cottage food vendors must abide by the Cottage Food Law - please review this guide.

For any food sellers or pop-up eatery/food service vendors: $10 per day or $100 annually (calendar year). (This permit is specific to the Farmers Market and only applies to Farmers Market events).

Food Trucks and Trailers (on wheels) are required to obtain a Dallas County Health Permit to participate in the farmers market or any other events in the City of Mesquite check with the Health division. In addition, vendors must pass an inspection by the Health Department and Fire Department. The City of Mesquite has contracted with Dallas Co. and can issue the Dallas county permit here and there will be no additional cost for the Fire permit (This permit is city-wide, and allows you to serve food anywhere allowed by law at a MFU permitted site only, within the City of Mesquite during the calendar year). We recommend contacting the City of Mesquite Health Department division for more information regarding requirements. You can email the Health Official Barry Jenkins at bjenkins@cityofmesquite.com or Mary Alva at malva@cityofmesquite.com or call 972-216-8138.
