vendor requirements
All approved vendors are required to have proper licenses, permits, insurance & agreements.
Licenses, Permits, Insurance & Vendor Agreement
All approved food trucks at Festival Foothills must provide a valid copy and maintain the following at all times:
A business license and a health permit are different documents issued by different authorities. The business license comes from the City of Buckeye and allows your business to operate legally in the city. The health permit comes from Maricopa County and authorizes the preparation and sale of mobile food establishments.
Valid Buckeye Business License – obtainable from the City of Buckeye Business Licensing page
Current Maricopa County Health Permit – obtainable from the Maricopa County Environmental Services Department
Certificate of Liability Insurance listing the HOA as additional insured – vendors may use this insurance page to sign up with our information pre-populated
Signed Vendor Agreement (with any applicable fee paid)
It is the vendor’s responsibility to provide these documents and maintain current copies at all times. Vendors cannot allow licenses, permits, insurance, or agreements to expire. Vendors without any of these current documents or agreements will be removed from the schedule and cannot request new bookings until all requirements are fully met.
We are not able to provide assistance with obtaining city business licenses, county health permits, or insurance, and cannot answer questions about licensing requirements. The only item we handle directly and can answer questions about is the Vendor Agreement. Licenses, Permits, Insurance & Vendor Agreement.
insurance requirement
To participate as a regular vendor at Festival Foothills, all food trucks are required to carry general liability insurance with our HOA listed as an Additional Insured. This is a standard practice that protects both you and the community in the event of an accident or claim while operating on-site.
Why This Is Required?
Festival Foothills Park is private property owned by the HOA. If something happens while your truck is on-site (like a customer injury or property damage) the HOA can be held liable. Requiring the HOA to be listed as an Additional Insured extends your insurance protection to include them during your scheduled visits.
This step must be completed before we can send out your vendor agreement.
