About each permit
Food Service Establishment Permit (Elmore County Health Department)
A restaurant or coffee shop serving food in Elmore County needs this permit from the Elmore County Health Department's Environmental Division, 6501 US Hwy 231, Wetumpka. The published annual fee is $75.00 for 0-25 seats, $150.00 for 26-75 seats and $225.00 for over 75 seats. Elmore's fee schedule is set by the county Board of Health under Ala. Code §45-26-170 and is its own document: the schedule that takes effect September 1, 2026 belongs to Etowah County and does not apply here. Under ADPH rule 420-3-22-.10, an establishment serving only coffee in single-service cups, with single-service stirrers and non-perishable condiments, needs no permit or inspections. The permit is non-transferable, and plans must be submitted for review before construction, remodeling or conversion.

The schedule does not define which operations count as limited food service beyond that title, and ADPH rule 420-3-22-.09 governs mobile food establishments. The fee schedule is the Elmore County Board of Health's own, set under Ala. Code §45-26-170, and carries no published effective date.
