About each permit
Sanitation Inspection — Foster Homes, Day Cares and Camps
$80 for the sanitation inspection of a foster home, day care or camp. The Fire Marshal charges a separate $75 for foster homes and day cares, so a day care here pays both — $155 across two departments, with neither schedule mentioning the other. Fees may be doubled or a fine imposed where the operation runs without a permit.
Food Establishment Permit
$215 flat for the calendar year, covering two inspections — no bands by size, turnover, employee count or risk, which makes this the simplest food permit recorded here and unusually cheap for a large operation. A school cafeteria including its warehouse and grounds is $175. Renewing late adds $50, and the ordinance warns that fees may be doubled or a fine imposed if you operate without a permit at all. The permit runs the calendar year, so one bought in the autumn is short-lived.
Temporary and Seasonal Food Permit
$52 for one to fourteen days — the state ceiling — or $100 for a seasonal permit of up to six months. At two events the seasonal permit is already the better buy, and it is half what Gillespie County charges for its annual equivalent.
