About each permit
Restaurant Food Permit — State DBPR License Applies (Tampa)
There is no separate local fee for this step. Under Florida Statutes § 509.241, each public food service establishment must obtain its license from the state Division of Hotels and Restaurants (DBPR), the license already recorded at the Florida state layer. The Florida Department of Health in Hillsborough County is itself a state agency, and its Food Services page lists the establishment types whose food service it regulates — schools, residential facilities, after-school meal programs, correctional facilities, civic and fraternal organizations, limited-menu theatres, and bars and lounges that do not serve food; restaurants and coffee shops are not on that list. A restaurant in Tampa therefore holds the state DBPR license rather than a separate Health Department food permit.
