About each permit
Temporary and Seasonal Food Permit
$50 for a temporary event food permit and $162 for a seasonal permit covering a concession stand, snow cone stand or similar structure. A farmers or community market permit is $100.
Food Establishment Permit
A restaurant is $162 under 1,000 square feet of gross floor area and $487 above — a threefold step at a single threshold, which makes the measurement worth checking before applying. A grocery store is $324 under 12,000 square feet and $487 above. A convenience store is $162 without a deli and $324 with one. A bar is $324, a daycare, nursing home or similar $324, and a school cafeteria $487. There is also a $162 new permit application fee on top of the annual permit for a first application. Health reinspection is $50.
Commercial Pool or Spa Permit
$162 a year for a commercial pool or spa. A health and building safety code appeal or variance, if the pool fails and you want to contest it, is $250.
