QUESTION: I would like to set up mobile food and beverage or a food truck in the Town of Pineville. What zoning items do i need?
Answer: Food trucks and similar on private property require a temporary event permit that can be found at the top of this page under the “forms” tab. There is a maximum of 4 permits per year per property. Each permit is good for 14 days for a maximum yearly amount of 56 days per tax parcel. Days do not have to be consecutive. Food trucks can apply for specific limited reoccurring days such as Fridays provided that the 56 days is not exceeded. Other approvals such as food safety, tents, and property owner permission is needed. Please contact us for additional information and approval prior to set up to avoid code enforcement.
QUESTION: I would like to apply for ABC license approval what do I do?
Answer: There are TWO forms needed for an ABC beverage license. These two forms are the zoning approval and local opinion form. These forms can be found under the “Forms” tab link in the dark green bar at the top of this page. Please fill out and complete BOTH forms to the Planning Department or Town Clerk. The Zoning form also requires building and fire inspectors which are obtained through Meckenburg County. You are welcome to begin with building, fire, or zoning first. Zoning approval for requests within Pineville municipal limits must be approved through Town authorized representative. The order of signatures is not important so long as all are obtained prior to final submittal. We can only assist or complete applications for locations within the incorporated limits of the Town of Pineville.

QUESTION: I live along Lancaster Highway with a Pineville zip code, am I within Pineville Town limits?
Answer: No. Zip code is independent from municipal limits. The neighborhoods West of Lancaster Highway (including Cardinal Woods, Danby, Lamplighter, Woodside Falls, Southcrest, Winghurst, Strathmore, and Glenfinnan) to Providence Rd West are unincorporated Mecklenburg County. Please call Mecklenburg County for all inquiries in this area. Similarly, properties along Park Road by the Hospital including Willow Ridge, John’s Towne, and Willowhurst have a Charlotte zip code but are within Pineville Town Limits.
