| Limestone County Board of Health Food Service Establishment Permit | Limestone County Board of Health / Limestone County Health Department | The Limestone County Board of Health has its own local-act authority to annually fix a schedule of fees covering the actual or partial cost of food-service permits, inspections and related services, subject to Limestone County Commission approval, and to promulgate its own rules and regulations, including indigent fee waivers (Ala. Code §45-42-171). This is real, distinct local fee- and rule-setting authority, not a plain state field office with no local say. The specific current dollar figure charged for a Limestone County food-service establishment permit is not published on the Limestone County Health Department's own pages or on any other Limestone-specific public source located during this research. | annual | 2026-09-28 |
Fees shown as a range or formula are set that way by the issuing agency — we do not average them into a single number.
About each permit
Limestone County Board of Health Food Service Establishment Permit
A restaurant, coffee shop, food truck or childcare center preparing or serving food to the public in Limestone County needs an annual food-service establishment permit from the Limestone County Health Department, administratively part of ADPH's Northern District but backed by the Limestone County Board of Health's own local-act authority to set its own fee schedule and rules, subject to County Commission approval (Ala. Code §45-42-171) — this is a genuine local rule-making power, not a bare state pass-through. The permit requirement itself, and the administering authority, are established facts. No dollar figure for the current Limestone County fee appears on the county's own pages, ADPH's statewide mobile-food-unit page (which states only that fees 'are assessed at the Local County Health Departments'), or any other Limestone-specific source located during this research — a widely circulated 'ADPH Fee System Manual revised 1/2026' citation returned a dead link in every URL variant tried and is not used here. Call the Limestone County Health Department, 256-232-3200, to confirm the current fee before budgeting for this permit. A childcare center triggers this permit only when it prepares or serves food on-site, in addition to its separate state DHR childcare license.
