About each permit
ServSafe Manager Training
Delivered locally by the West Central Health District's Columbus office as the delivery mechanism for Georgia's statewide certified food safety manager requirement.
Food Service Establishment Permit
This permit comes from the West Central Health District's Columbus office, not the city government directly — the district covers sixteen counties on a shared fee portal, and Columbus genuinely has its own distinct fee track within it, separate from the district's other member counties. The district's own Columbus product catalog publishes four of the five annual seating-tier base fees — $150 up to 50 seats, $225 for 51 to 125, $375 for 251 to 500, $450 above that — plus a $30 late fee keyed to the mid-size 126-to-250-seat tier, but no base fee product for that tier itself; no base figure for 126 to 250 seats is asserted here. A late payment adds 10% at every tier where a base fee is published.
