About each permit
Food Service Facility License
Plan review is billed separately: Type A (low priority) $240, Type B (moderate) $330, Type C (high) $600, mobile/itinerant $55, equipment replacement $160. Renewal after the deadline draws a $100 late fee. Montgomery County DHHS covers Gaithersburg directly — the city has no separate food-permitting layer.
Certified Food Service Manager License
A certified food service manager must be in immediate control whenever the facility is operating; Montgomery County requires a proctored, in-person exam rather than an online-only certification.
