About each permit
Food Handler Safety Training Card
Required of anyone employed in or operating a food establishment in Clark County, at $25 for a new card and the same $25 to renew on time, valid for three years — but renewing after the card has already lapsed, for up to two years past expiry, costs $40 because a $15 late fee is added on top. This programme is Southern Nevada's own; Washoe County runs a separate food handler programme through Northern Nevada Public Health, which also requires at least one certified food protection manager per establishment above the lowest risk tier. No rural-county food handler card policy is asserted here.
Food Establishment Permit
Food permitting splits three ways in Nevada, and the split moved in 2025. The Southern Nevada Health District covers Clark County — Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas and the rest — with a restaurant priced at a $290 fixed fee plus a further per-unit charge on top. Northern Nevada Public Health covers Washoe County on a risk-tiered schedule instead, running roughly $327 at the lowest risk level up to $1,334 at the highest. The remaining thirteen rural counties used to be licensed by the state health division; a 2025 act moved that authority to the Department of Agriculture effective 1 July 2025. No dollar figure for that department's own rural-county fee schedule is asserted here — anything naming the health division for a rural county predates that transfer and is now wrong.
