About each permit
Retail Food Establishment Permit
The Article 14 document hosted on the county's own site has blank ordinance-number, date, and signature fields — an unsigned template rather than a fully executed copy. Its figures are meaningfully higher than a June 2024 city guide's older numbers and are internally consistent with the signed March 2025 Food & Beverage Ordinance's cross-reference to this exact article, suggesting a real fee increase — but the exact effective date and ordinance number should be confirmed with the department at (260) 449-7561 before treating these as final.
