About each permit
Food Establishment Plan Review (STATE-SET fee, paid to the Comanche County Health Department)
Before a food establishment is built, converted, remodelled or changed in type, its plans go through plan review. The fee is STATE-SET: OAC 310:250-3-7 (effective October 1, 2017) sets plan review at $425.00 for food service, manufacturing, wholesale and broker establishments, and the same $425.00 for state-operated, non-profit, seasonal and fee-exempt establishments, with plans submitted to the Oklahoma State Department of Health or the respective county health department. OSDH's food licensure page tells applicants to "submit plans and plan review fee of $425.00" and states that plan review fees are paid to the county health department before the plan review is completed. The plan review fee is separate from the license fee, so a new establishment pays both. In Comanche County, the local office is the Comanche County Health Department, an Oklahoma State Department of Health office at 1010 South Sheridan, Lawton, OK 73501 (mailing address P.O. Box 87, Lawton, OK 73502), (580) 248-5890, open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Food Establishment License (state license, STATE-SET fee; apply through the Comanche County Health Department)
A restaurant, coffee shop, food truck or retail store selling food needs a state food establishment license from the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH). The fee is STATE-SET, not a county fee. OAC 310:250-3-1 (as amended effective September 11, 2022) sets a food service, manufacturing or wholesale license at $425 initial, $335 renewal and $375 late renewal; late renewal fees apply to renewals received thirty (30) days after the license expires, and a license not renewed within ninety (90) days is ineligible for renewal and pays the initial fee. OSDH's official Form 543 (revised 5/29/25) lists mobile food (type 45 M) at $425 new, $335 renewal and $375 if 30-89 days late. A seasonal license, valid for 180 consecutive days, is $250, and a state-operated, non-profit or health facility that does not meet fee-exempt status pays $175 initial, $125 renewal and $150 late renewal. OSDH's food licensure page sets out the steps: contact the local county health department, submit plans and the plan review fee if required, get a classification number from the county health department, submit the license application, pay the license fee, pass the pre-licensure inspection and file an Affidavit of Lawful Presence. In Comanche County, the local office is the Comanche County Health Department, an Oklahoma State Department of Health office at 1010 South Sheridan, Lawton, OK 73501 (mailing address P.O.
