About each permit
Restaurant / Food Service Establishment License (Lane County)
Oregon delegates food licensing to counties, and Lane County Health & Human Services, Environmental Health — not the Oregon Health Authority directly and not the City of Eugene — is the actual food-permitting authority inside Eugene. This is on top of, not instead of, whatever building, sign, zoning and payroll-tax requirements the City separately imposes.
Mobile Food Unit (Food Truck/Cart) License (Lane County)
This is the county food-safety license every food truck/cart needs to operate anywhere in Eugene, regardless of where it sits. It is separate from, and additional to, whatever site-specific City permit applies depending on location — see the Food Cart Fire Permit, Downtown Activity Zone Permit and Park Vending Agreement records below. A cart on private property needs no additional City permit at all, per the City's own guidance — only an arrangement directly with the property owner.
Child Care Facility Kitchen Inspection (Lane County)
Lane County Environmental Health's own fee sheet lists this as a 'Kitchen Inspection' that 'includes Schools, Day Care Facilities, Group Care Homes and Non-licensed kitchens' — notably narrower in scope than Marion County's (Salem's file) or Multnomah County's (Portland's file) broader, enrollment-tiered 'Childcare/Group Home' whole-facility inspection fee. No comparable broader Lane County line item could be found; this kitchen-specific figure is the confirmed Lane County piece of a childcare facility's health-inspection requirement, distinct from and additional to the Oregon Department of Early Learning and Care's own state license.
