About each permit

Mobile Food Service Establishment Permit (truck, trailer or cart)

A mobile food service establishment operated from a truck, trailer or cart in Monroe County needs a permit from the Monroe County Department of Public Health, Food Protection program. The county's application to operate a mobile food service establishment, footer marked 'Updated 3/2026', cites NYS Sanitary Code 14-4.190(c) for the permit and states that the permit is an annual one. The county food page states that the department issues permits to food service establishments and enforces NYS Sanitary Code Subparts 14-1, 14-2, 14-4 and 14-5, which covers mobile units. The annual amount is set through the county's Sanitary Code fee provision (§569-9A), which points to a schedule adopted by the Legislature, and that schedule is the basis of the amount. A food truck that also needs a plan review before it begins operating has that requirement recorded separately below.

Day Care Food Service Plan Review and Annual Food Inspection

The county's day care page states: 'The Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) regulates and permits daycares. However, OCFS requires an annual food inspection conducted by the Monroe County Department of Public Health, Food Protection Program for each daycare facility as part of their permit.' A day care in Monroe County therefore needs the county food inspection as part of its state day care permit. The county's day care plan review application, marked 'Updated 9/13/2022', covers the food component of a day care's plans and cites NYS Sanitary Code 14-1.190. The fee is set through the county's Sanitary Code fee provision (§569-9A), which points to a schedule adopted by the Legislature, and that schedule is the basis of the amount, not the day care plan form.

Indoor Tanning Facility Permit (two-year registration)

The county's indoor tanning page states: 'Indoor tanning facilities in New York State must be permitted and inspected by the Monroe County Department of Public Health.' The state rule sets the registration fee at $120 for each biennial registration period under 10 NYCRR §72-1.4(a), and the registration is effective for no more than two years under §72-1.4(b). The inspection fee under 10 NYCRR §72-1.5(b) may not exceed $200 per ultraviolet radiation device and is charged once per biennial licensing period. These are state-set amounts from the rule effective 01/05/2022, and the county's own tanning fee schedule is not the source of either figure. A salon or fitness studio that operates indoor tanning equipment is the kind of facility the rule covers.

Food Service Establishment Permit

A food service establishment in Monroe County, including a restaurant, a coffee shop or a retail bakery, needs a permit from the Monroe County Department of Public Health, Food Protection program. The county's food page states that the department issues permits to food service establishments in Monroe County and enforces NYS Sanitary Code Subparts 14-1, 14-2, 14-4 and 14-5. The county's application to operate a food establishment, footer marked 'Updated 3/2026', cites NYS Sanitary Code 14-1.190(c) for the permit and lists restaurant, industrial and school or college, caterer, commissary and retail bakery categories. The fee is set through the county's Sanitary Code fee provision (§569-9A), which points to a schedule adopted by the Legislature, and that schedule is the basis of the amount, not the application form. The food permit is a separate requirement from the plan review that must precede construction, which is recorded on its own below.

Food Establishment Plan Review (construction, major renovation or new operation)

Plans for a new food service establishment, for a major renovation of one, or for a food truck or trailer must be submitted to the Monroe County Department of Public Health for review and approval before construction starts or before operation begins. The county's plan review application for a food service establishment cites NYS Sanitary Code 14-1.190, and its application for a food truck or trailer cites 14-1.191. The forms state that plans shall be submitted for review and approval before construction is started. The county food page lists this review among the department's food permit functions. The fee is set through the county's Sanitary Code fee provision (§569-9A), which points to a schedule adopted by the Legislature, and that schedule is the basis of the amount, not the plan review form.

Bathing Facility Permit to Operate (pool, spa or spray park)

The county's pool page states: 'Issue permits to Bathing Facilities in Monroe County. Enforce Subpart 6-1, Subpart 6-2, and Subpart 6-3 of New York State Sanitary Code.' A fitness studio that operates a pool or spa as a bathing facility needs this permit to operate, issued by the Monroe County Department of Public Health. A studio without a pool or spa has no bathing facility permit to obtain. The county pool page does not publish a fee amount for the permit, so the figure is not stated in this record and should be requested from the department.
