About each permit
Peddler License (food establishment operating as a peddler)
A food establishment that operates as a peddler, as the Health Code defines that term at Reg. 1-1-101 V, needs a peddler license from Yavapai County Community Health Services. Whether a particular operation falls under this license depends on that definition, so a mobile vendor should check the definition against its own method of sale before applying. The fee is set under the county Environmental Health fee schedule, and no adopted amount is cited on this record, so the license is listed without a dollar figure.
Annual Operating License, Food Establishment (by establishment type)
Every food establishment that the county's Environmental Health programme covers needs an annual operating license from Yavapai County Community Health Services. The license covers eating and drinking places, retail food, bakeries, caterers, commissaries, day care kitchens, mobile food units and food processors. Renewal is annual under Reg. 1-1-202 B of the Health Code. The fee is set under the county Environmental Health fee schedule, which is printed effective January 1, 2023 and is linked as the current schedule on the county's Health Inspections page. No adopted amount is cited on this record, so the license is listed here without a dollar figure.
Semi-Public Pool or Spa Annual License
A fitness studio or other business that operates a semi-public pool or spa on its premises needs an annual license from Yavapai County Community Health Services, under the county Environmental Health fee schedule printed effective January 1, 2023. The license attaches to a pool or spa that is on the premises, so a business without one has no pool license under this record. The fee is set under the fee schedule, and no adopted amount is cited on this record, so the license is listed without a dollar figure.
Provisional Permit, Food Establishment (new operation or change of ownership)
A new food establishment, or an existing one that is changing ownership, applies to Yavapai County Community Health Services for a provisional permit under Reg. 1-1-202 A.1 of the Health Code adopted 9/21/2022. The Health Code sets a half-fee rule for a mobile food unit, a food processor, a retail-only operation and a limited food handling operation. The permit fee is set under the county Environmental Health fee schedule, and no adopted amount is cited on this record, so the permit is listed without a dollar figure.
Plan Review, Food Establishment (new construction or remodel)
Under Reg. 1-4-101 A of the county Health Code, establishments listed in the regulation may require plan review and approval by the Department before construction or remodeling. A restaurant or coffee shop that is building out or remodeling a food area should check with Yavapai County Community Health Services whether plan review applies to its project. The fee is set under the county Environmental Health fee schedule, which scales plan review charges with the square footage of the establishment, and no adopted amount is cited on this record.
Special Event Food License (temporary food service at an event)
A vendor that serves food at a special event in Yavapai County needs a special event food license from Yavapai County Community Health Services.

The fee is set under the county Environmental Health fee schedule, which includes an administrative fee for each calendar year, a per-event fee and a late fee. No adopted amount is cited on this record, so the license is listed here without a dollar figure.
Food Worker Certificate (two-year certificate for each food worker)
Each food worker at a Yavapai County food establishment must obtain a food worker certificate within 30 days after starting employment, under Reg. 1-6-102 A and B of the county Health Code.

The Health Code states that its cost is established by the Yavapai County Board of Supervisors and listed in the Department's Environmental Health fee schedule, so the amount is set by the Board and is not repeated on this record.
