FLAGSTAFF, Ariz – The Coconino County Board of Supervisors approved changes to Chapters 1 and 2 of the Coconino County Unified Health Code and the adoption of the Ordinance for the Regulation and Prohibition of Unlicensed Establishments within Coconino County at the November 25, 2024, meeting. These changes, requested by Coconino County Health and Human Services (CCHHS) Environmental Health, will assist in the regulation of unlicensed food vendors in Coconino County.
Unlicensed food vendors are an issue throughout Arizona and neighboring states. These vendors pose a high risk of serious foodborne illness due to unsanitary conditions. They are generally set up near sidewalks, in parking lots, and sometimes on the side of roadways, and have not been inspected or licensed by Coconino County Health and Human Services. Unlicensed vendors should not be confused with the vast majority of licensed street and mobile food vendors that employ safe food practices.
Mobile vendors that have gone through the licensing process and have been approved by CCHHS Environmental Health should display the licenses or permits shown below.
