About each permit

Temporary Food License

$10 to $40 a day. The schedule gives the range without saying what places a trader at one end or the other, so ask the city which rate applies before committing to a run of days — at the top of the range a week costs $280, at the bottom $70.

Zoning Change or Special Use Permit

$500 for a zoning change application and $500 for a special use permit, with a board of adjustment application or architectural review at $200 each. A plat or replat is $682 plus any engineering fees incurred. These are a fraction of Denton's $8,695 rezoning fee — worth knowing if you are comparing small Bexar County suburbs against the larger Metroplex cities for a change-of-use project.

Certificate of Occupancy

$150 for a commercial certificate of occupancy; a residential one is free. Cheap against Plano's $140 and Amarillo's $151 for a comparable step — Castle Hills is a small city and prices accordingly. Work in the right of way and a curb cut are $50 each, plus any engineering fees incurred.

Farmers Market Vendor License

Three durations at the same prices whether you sell food or not: $10 a day, $50 for 120 consecutive days, or $100 a year originating on 1 June. The annual license pays for itself at ten market days, and the 120-day option at five. Note the fixed 1 June start — a license bought in April gives you two months, not twelve.

Annual Food License

Four bands on employee count: $100 under three employees, $250 for three to six, $500 for six to ten and $750 above ten. Two penalties are worth more attention than the fee. A license not renewed by 15 June incurs double the fee, and operating without a food license at all also incurs double — so the cost of forgetting and the cost of not bothering are the same, and both are steeper than any late fee elsewhere in this dataset. A food re-inspection is $50.
