Dbpr Hr 7031 PDF Details

The DBPR HR-7031 is the official application for a Mobile Food Dispensing Vehicle (MFDV) License with Plan Review in Florida. The Department of Business and Professional Regulation's Division of Hotels and Restaurants administers this form to ensure all mobile food operations meet the state's health and safety standards.

Types of Mobile Food Dispensing Vehicles

The DBPR HR-7031 covers several categories of mobile food operations in Florida. Each type has specific requirements for sanitation, water supply, and waste disposal.

• Self-propelled food trucks and carts
• Watercraft used for food service
• Hot dog carts (designated as HTDG)
• Non-self-propelled units that require a commissary

Key Requirements for the License

Before submitting the form, applicants must gather specific documentation. The Division of Hotels and Restaurants reviews each submission carefully before granting approval.

• A scaled drawing that labels all equipment and plumbing fixtures
• Location of all portable fire extinguishers
• Proof of a commissary agreement (for non-self-sufficient vehicles)
• The one-time application fee and annual license fee
• An active DBPR online account to manage your license
• Compliance with local city and county business regulations

The Application Process

Completing the application involves several stages. Understanding each stage helps applicants avoid delays.

1. Create a DBPR online account. An account is required to submit the application and track its status.
2. Prepare your plans. Submit a detailed scaled drawing with all equipment, plumbing, and fire safety items labeled. Follow both state and federal regulations.
3. Submit the application with fees. Include the one-time application fee and the annual license fee. Payment is accepted by check or money order.
4. Pass a pre-operational inspection. A DBPR inspector visits the vehicle before you begin operations.
5. Select a commissary (if needed). Vehicles that are not self-sufficient must designate an approved commissary for storage and cleaning.
