About each permit

Food License Late Renewal Penalty

Renewing a Montgomery County food license after the 1 March deadline costs a quarter more, and the size of the penalty is statutory rather than local: ORC 3717.43(D) provides that 'The amount of the penalty shall be twenty-five per cent of the renewal fee.' Public Health applies it to the local portion of each fee and prints the resulting figure in its own penalty column on the 2026 Fee Schedule, so a risk level 4 restaurant under 25,000 square feet that renews late pays $877.83 in total rather than $707.86, and a large risk level 3 grocery pays $1,714.50 rather than $1,377.20. PHDMC's programme page fixes the deadline for everyone at the same date — 'FSO and RFE licenses must be renewed by March 1st of each year. Regardless of when the application is obtained, it must be renewed by March 1st' — which means an operation that opened in October still renews the following March and is late from 2 March. Mobile and seasonal operators follow a different timetable under the same statute: ORC 3717.43(D) has them submit the renewal application before commencing operation in a new licensing period rather than by 1 March. Temporary licenses are not renewable at all, so no penalty attaches to them.

Food Service Operation / Retail Food Establishment License — commercial, over 25,000 sq ft

A supermarket, large grocery, warehouse club or big restaurant of 25,000 square feet or more is priced on the upper band of Public Health's 2026 Fee Schedule, and the gap between the bands is wide at the top: a risk level 3 operation pays $1,377.20 above the threshold against $562.80 below it, and a risk level 4 operation $1,458.64 against $707.86. Each figure above is the sum of Public Health's local fee and the $28.00 state fee that the licensor collects and sends to the Treasurer of State, exactly as the schedule's own columns set them out. The licensing period, renewal date and risk-level inspection frequencies are the same as for a smaller operation: the period runs 1 March to the last day of February under ORC 3717.01(P), PHDMC requires renewal by 1 March whatever month the operation opened, and a mid-year applicant pays the full amount. Risk level, not floor area alone, drives the figure — a large store with extensive food preparation sits at level 3 or 4 while one selling only prepackaged goods sits lower. Before using these amounts, check the address: PHDMC's municipalities-served page states that it 'provides contracted services to the City of Oakwood, which maintains its own Health Department,' and Oakwood's health district inspects food operations and retail food establishments inside that city, so this schedule does not price an Oakwood store.

Mobile Food Service Operation / Mobile Retail Food Establishment License

A food truck, cart or trailer headquartered in Montgomery County licenses once with Public Health and can then work anywhere in the state: ORC 3717.43(A) requires the application for a mobile food service operation license to go 'to the licensor for the health district in which the applicant's business headquarters are located,' and ORC 3717.43(B) provides that 'A mobile or catering food service operation license issued by one licensor shall be recognized by all other licensors in this state.' A truck headquartered in another Ohio county therefore does not license again here. What counts as mobile is defined by ORC 3717.01(I) — an operation run from a movable vehicle, portable structure or watercraft 'that routinely changes location, except that if the operation remains at any one location for more than forty consecutive days, the operation is no longer a mobile food service operation,' at which point the fixed-premises license applies instead. The two rates above turn on the risk level Public Health assigns to the menu and preparation. PHDMC also requires Person In Charge certification 'At each event for a New high risk mobile food operation licensed after 9/1/2024', which is listed separately for this county. Public Health reviews mobile plans before a unit opens, requiring a floor plan showing sinks and equipment, the menu, equipment make and model numbers, the Person In Charge certificate and a photo of the logo or signage; ORC 3717.45(B)(1) and ORC 3717.25(B)(1) authorise a plan-review fee only for operations 'other than mobile and temporary food service operations,' and PHDMC states that its office contacts the applicant about the plan review fee amount, so no figure for it is published on the 2026 Fee Schedule.

Public Swimming Pool / Spa / Special Use Pool License

A gym, health club, hotel gym or fitness studio in Montgomery County with a pool, spa, whirlpool or splash pad needs an annual operating license from Public Health. ORC 3749.04(A) states that 'No person shall operate or maintain a public swimming pool, public spa, or special use pool without a license issued by the licensor having jurisdiction,' and the reach of that is broad: PHDMC describes a licensable water body as 'Any indoor or outdoor structure, chamber, or tank containing a body of water for swimming, diving, or bathing that is intended to be used collectively for swimming, diving, or bathing, and is operated by any person whether as the owner, lessee, operator, licensee, or concessionaire, regardless of usage fees.' Water at a dwelling of no more than three families used only by residents and their non-paying guests is exempted by the same page. A studio without a pool, spa or whirlpool has no pool license to obtain at all. There are two separate steps and two separate agencies, which is a common source of confusion: PHDMC's page states that 'The Ohio Department of Health must approve the swimming pool to operate through a plan review process. Once approved, the operator must submit an application and fee to Public Health. A swimming pool license will then be issued' — so the state does the construction plan review and the county issues and prices the operating license. Timing is statutory: existing operators apply during the month of April and a new pool applies at least thirty days before opening, and PHDMC states that 'Prior to opening and May 1st of each year, an application and fee must be submitted for all public swimming pools.' Building a commercial pool also draws the county's own $750 building permit, listed separately for this jurisdiction, and a pool inside the city of Oakwood is inspected by the Oakwood Health District rather than by PHDMC.

Food Service Operation / Retail Food Establishment License — commercial, under 25,000 sq ft

Public Health - Dayton & Montgomery County licenses food service operations and retail food establishments across the county, and the amounts above are read from its Office of Environmental Health 2026 Fee Schedule, headed 'As of 12/1/2025'. Which figure applies depends on the risk level the licensor assigns: PHDMC's own page states that 'License fees are determined by risk level. The higher the risk, the higher the license fee,' and the same page sets the inspection load that goes with it — a risk level I or II operation gets 'at least 1 standard inspection each licensing period,' level III 'at least 2 standard inspections,' and level IV 'at least 2 standard inspections and 2 critical control point inspections or process reviews each licensing period.' Renewal is fixed to the calendar, not to the opening date: PHDMC states that 'FSO and RFE licenses must be renewed by March 1st of each year. Regardless of when the application is obtained, it must be renewed by March 1st,' and that 'If you apply for a new license halfway through the licensing year, you are required to pay the full fee amount.' The split between the local and state parts of each total is statutory — ORC 3717.45(A) and ORC 3717.25(A) require the local fee to be based on the licensor's cost of regulation, determined by the uniform methodologies under ORC 3717.07 and set only after a public hearing with twenty days' written notice to every affected licensee, while the $28.00 state component is the amount the Director of Health sets by rule and the licensor transmits to the Treasurer of State. One scope point matters before budgeting from these figures: PHDMC's municipalities-served page states that it 'provides contracted services to the City of Oakwood, which maintains its own Health Department,' and the Oakwood Health District's own page states that it inspects food service operations and retail food establishments in that city, so an Oakwood address is priced by Oakwood rather than by this schedule.

Temporary Food Service Operation / Temporary Food Establishment License

A stall, cart or truck selling food at a Montgomery County festival, market or fair takes a temporary license from Public Health for that event, at $60.00 for a commercial operator on the 2026 Fee Schedule. ORC 3717.01(K) defines a temporary food service operation as one 'operated at an event for not more than five consecutive days,' and PHDMC's own page matches that: 'A temporary FSO license is good for five consecutive days at the same address at the same event.' The paperwork has a hard lead time — PHDMC states that 'Appropriate forms and fees must be submitted ten days prior to the event.' There is a statutory ceiling on how often the same operator can use this route: ORC 3717.43(E)(1) permits a licensor to issue 'not more than ten temporary food service operation licenses per licensing period to the same person or government entity to operate at different events within the licensor's jurisdiction,' and 'For each particular event, a licensor may issue only one temporary food service operation license to the same person or government entity.' PHDMC states the same rule in its own words as ten temporary food licenses per year within each jurisdiction. An operator who exceeds that pattern of trading is looking at a mobile or fixed license instead. Public Health also warns vendors to 'Check with event coordinators, city/township officials, property owners, and/or zoning to ensure all permits and proper permission are obtained,' which is the practical shape of the municipal layer that sits on top of this license.

Manager (Level 2) Certification in Food Protection

A higher-risk food business in Montgomery County needs a certified manager as well as a certified person in charge. Public Health states the rule plainly: 'Each Risk Level III and IV food operation needs to have at least one employee that has supervisory and management responsibility and the authority to direct and control food preparation and service to have the manager certification (level 2) in food protection.' Its own course is 'a two day class of instruction' satisfying 'OAC 3717-1-02.4 and OAC 3701-21-25', taught with ServSafe materials and examination, and priced at $175.00 a head on the 2026 Fee Schedule. In practice this catches full-service restaurants, most delis and prepared-food counters in grocery stores, and any operation doing specialised processes — the same operations Public Health inspects most often, at 'at least 2 standard inspections' a licensing period for level III and 'at least 2 standard inspections and 2 critical control point inspections or process reviews' for level IV. The certification is separate from and additional to the three-hour Person In Charge certification, which is required per shift at every risk level. Certification obtained through another approved provider satisfies the same administrative rules; the fee here is the price of Public Health's own class.

Body Art Establishment Approval (tattoo, piercing, permanent cosmetics)

This is the county record that reaches a salon offering permanent makeup, microblading or piercing, as well as a dedicated tattoo or piercing studio. ORC 3730.03 requires that 'A person seeking approval to operate a business that offers tattooing or body piercing services shall apply to the board of health of the city or general health district in which the business is located on forms the board shall prescribe and provide,' including with the application the fee established under ORC 3709.09; approval lasts a year, is renewable and is not transferable, and the statute requires the fees to be used solely for implementing and enforcing the chapter. Public Health states that it licenses and inspects 'body art establishments including tattoo and body piercing facilities within the county to ensure compliance with state and local regulations,' and its 2026 Fee Schedule prices the establishment approval at $300.00, with a $75.00 penalty for a late application and a $90.00 rate for a temporary approval at an event or convention. Ordinary hair, nail and beauty work is licensed by the Ohio State Cosmetology and Barber Board under ORC Chapter 4713 rather than here, so a salon needs this approval only where it also offers tattooing, piercing or permanent cosmetics. A salon inside the city of Oakwood should confirm its licensor with the Oakwood Health District, which runs that city's own health programme.

Commercial Plumbing Plan Review

Public Health's plumbing programme page states that 'There is no fee required for a plumbing plan review,' so this step costs a commercial applicant nothing — but it is not optional, and skipping it stalls the permit. The same page states that 'A plan review is not required for residential plumbing. A plan review is required before permits may be obtained on all commercial installations,' which puts every commercial fit-out in Montgomery County outside Centerville, Dayton, Oakwood and Kettering through this gate before a plumbing permit can be issued. There is a sequencing rule that catches restaurant and cafe projects in particular: the page states that 'If the commercial operation involves food service, a plan review must be submitted to the Food Service Plans Examiner prior to plumbing approval,' so the food service plan review listed separately for this jurisdiction, which does carry a fee banded by floor area, has to be filed and cleared first. Budget the time rather than the money here: the free review is a scheduling dependency between three separate steps — food plans, plumbing plans, then the plumbing permit and its per-fixture charges.

Food Service Plan Review (new construction and remodel)

Before a new restaurant, cafe, grocery, childcare kitchen or juice bar is built out in Montgomery County, and before a substantial remodel proceeds, Public Health reviews the facility layout and equipment specifications. PHDMC's programme page requires plans to be submitted 30 days prior to construction for food service operations, retail establishments and transient accommodations, so this is the step that sets the earliest date a fit-out can realistically start. The charge is banded by size on Public Health's 2026 Fee Schedule and runs from $150.00 for a micro market to $750.00 for a space over 2,500 square feet, with consultation and remodelling work billed at $100.00 per hour instead. The authority for charging it is ORC 3717.45(B)(1) for food service operations and ORC 3717.25(B)(1) for retail food establishments, each of which authorises a fee for reviewing 'facility layout and equipment specifications' for operations 'other than mobile and temporary food service operations' — which is why a food truck's plan review is priced separately by the office rather than on this schedule. The same block of the schedule prices transient accommodation plan review at $400.00 up to 100 units and $550.00 above it. A restaurant fit-out that also touches plumbing should sequence the two reviews: Public Health's plumbing page states that 'If the commercial operation involves food service, a plan review must be submitted to the Food Service Plans Examiner prior to plumbing approval.'

Person In Charge (PIC) Certification in Food Protection

Every risk level 1 to 4 food operation in Montgomery County needs someone certified in food protection on each shift, and Public Health is an approved provider of the course at $35.00 a head on its 2026 Fee Schedule. PHDMC describes the requirement in its own words: 'Person In Charge (PIC) Certification in Food Protection is a mandated training for one person in charge per shift of a risk level 1, 2, 3, or 4 food service operation or retail food establishment. It is required after March 1, 2010' in the listed instances, and 'The Person In Charge (PIC) Certification in Food Protection Course is a three hour course that satisfies the requirements of OAC 3701-21-25.' Because the obligation is per shift rather than per business, a restaurant or cafe running two shifts needs at least two certified people, and a new high risk mobile food operation licensed after 1 September 2024 needs its certified person in charge present at each event. The certification is a state-rule requirement administered locally, so a certificate obtained from another approved Ohio provider meets the same rule; what PHDMC charges here is the price of taking its own class. Risk level III and IV operations additionally need a manager certification, listed separately for this county at $175.00.

Plumbing Permit and Inspection

Almost any fit-out in Montgomery County touches this permit, because the trigger is far wider than new construction: Public Health's plumbing page states that 'Permits are required for the installation, construction, alteration or repair of the plumbing, drainage or water supply system in any building or structure including replacement fixtures,' so swapping a sink in a salon or a hand-wash station in a cafe is enough. The per-fixture charge is what makes the arithmetic: a restaurant fit-out with a three-compartment sink, two hand sinks, a mop sink, a dishwasher and two lavatories is a $45.00 permit plus $14.00 for each of those devices. The jurisdiction here is narrower than the rest of Public Health's programmes, and the page says so twice: 'The plumbing program provides oversight of the installation of plumbing systems in all areas of Montgomery County except for the cities of Centerville, Dayton, Oakwood, and Kettering,' and 'We provide inspection services for all areas of the county (excluding the cities of Centerville, Dayton, Oakwood and Kettering). However, Public Health will continue to issue permits and provide oversight (for Centerville) of on-premise sewer, water and irrigation/deduct meter installations.' A business in Dayton, Kettering or Oakwood therefore permits its plumbing through that city, while a Centerville business still comes to Public Health for sewer, water and irrigation or deduct-meter work. Payment is by cash, check, money order, credit or debit card, and card transactions carry an added processing fee. The amounts above are the ones printed on Public Health's own plumbing programme page at the address cited here, read from the Internet Archive's capture of that page.

Home Daycare License Inspection (PHDMC)

A home-based child care provider in Montgomery County pays Public Health $25.00 for the licensing inspection, which is the county's own line item on its 2026 Fee Schedule. The license itself is a state matter: ORC 5104.03 has the application made 'to the director of children and youth on such form as the director prescribes,' and the Ohio Department of Children and Youth issues it under ORC Chapter 5104. The county's second touchpoint is a precondition that catches centre operators by surprise, and Building Regulations sets it out in its FAQ: 'As part of their licensing requirements, they require proof of a Certificate of Occupancy from the building department before they will issue their license. In order for us to issue a C.O., you must obtain a building permit from our division,' and 'After we pass the final building inspection, we will issue a Certificate of Occupancy, which you will submit to your daycare licensing representative so he or she can complete the licensing approval process.' The practical sequence in a county-served jurisdiction is therefore building permit, final inspection, certificate of occupancy, then state license. A centre that prepares or serves food on-site also needs a food service operation or retail food establishment license from Public Health, priced by risk level in the records listed separately for this county. A provider inside the city of Oakwood should confirm the inspecting authority with the Oakwood Health District, which runs that city's own health programme.
