About each permit
Food Service Permit
Five floor-area bands: $150 up to 500 square feet, $200 to 1,500, $275 to 3,000, $350 to 6,000 and $400 above. A child care food service is $150 and a catering operation $250. The city's adopted 2025-2026 Fee Schedule confirms these figures. A spreadsheet Burleson filed with the state also carried proposed increases — the same bands at $200, $275, $375, $475 and $550 — and the adopted schedule shows they were not taken up.
Food Establishment Reinspection
$175 after a failed inspection, or $100 for a courtesy re-inspection — an optional early check before opening, which few jurisdictions here offer and which is worth taking at that price. An after-hours inspection is $150 and operating without a permit carries a $250 penalty. A for-profit school food service run by a private contractor is $250. The registry filing marked these as new fees and the city's adopted schedule carries them, so they are current.
Grocery Permit
$275 up to 5,000 square feet and $400 above. An adjunct operation inside the store — a deli or bakery counter — takes its own permit at $150 where the store is 5,000 square feet or less and $200 above, charged per independent operation, so a supermarket with two counters pays the store fee plus two adjunct fees. A commissary is $100 without food preparation and $200 with. A state filing also carried proposed increases to $375 and $525; the city's adopted schedule shows they were not adopted.
Temporary and Seasonal Food Permit
$50 for a temporary food service. A seasonal permit covering a farmers market or a snow cone stand is $100 — Burleson is one of very few jurisdictions here to name a snow cone stand explicitly, which tells you something about what the seasonal permit is really for. A food truck operational site permit is $50 for six months.
Food Establishment Plan Review
Free up to 500 square feet, $50 from 500 to 3,000 and $100 above 3,000 — by a wide margin the cheapest plan review in this dataset, against $475 in Plano and $882 in Williamson County. A small operator in Burleson pays nothing at all to have plans reviewed, which is worth knowing when comparing the total cost of opening across the Metroplex.
Food Handler Class
$15 per person for the city's food handler class. Mid-range against Corpus Christi's $12, New Braunfels' $15 and Carrollton's $10 state-accredited certification. Budget per member of staff rather than per site.
Swimming Pool, Spa and Interactive Water Feature Permit
$250 for the annual permit, $150 for plan review and the opening inspection, and $75 for a required reinspection. The three are charged separately, so opening a new hotel or apartment pool costs $400 in the first year before any reinspection. Not present in the schedule Burleson filed with the state — it appears only in the city's own adopted document.
