About each permit
Temporary Food Service Permit
$52 for 14 consecutive days, the state ceiling. Filing late adds only $15 — the mildest late-filing penalty recorded here, against $100 in Longview and a 50 per cent surcharge in Wichita Falls — so a missed deadline in Beaumont is an inconvenience rather than a real cost.
Inspection and Re-Inspection Fee
$150 for an inspection and $200 for a re-inspection. On the smallest chair band that re-inspection costs more than the annual permit itself, which makes failing an inspection proportionally more expensive for a ten-seat cafe than for a large restaurant. A general late fee of $15 also appears on the schedule.
Food Permit
Banded by seating: $150 for 0 to 10 chairs, $225 for the band the ordinance prints as "11-10 chairs", $250 for 21 to 30, $275 for 31 to 50, $300 for 51 to 75, $325 for 76 to 100 and $350 above 100. The second band is a typo in the adopted ordinance — 11 to 10 is not a range, and the next band starting at 21 suggests 11 to 20 was meant — but that is an inference, so the fee is recorded and the range is quoted as printed. If your dining room seats between 11 and 20, confirm the figure with Environmental Health rather than assuming $225. Counting chairs is a rare basis for a food fee and a practical one: you can work out your band before you apply.
Retail Food Store Permit
Banded by checkout counters, which no other jurisdiction in this dataset uses: $192.50 for 0 to 2 counters, $247.50 for 3 to 5, $302.50 for 6 to 9 and $357.50 for 10 or more. The steps are an even $55 apart. Like the chair bands, it is a proxy for size a retailer can count before applying — and one that changes if you reconfigure the front of the store.
Seafood Establishment License
$44 for a wholesale seafood license and $22 for retail — separate from the general food permit and specific to Beaumont's Gulf Coast trade. Both are trivial sums beside the permit itself, but they are separate licenses and easy to miss when opening a fish counter or a wholesale operation. A public or parochial school cafeteria is $55.
