About each permit
Food Establishment Business Permit
Three bands: $150 for ten or fewer employees, $200 for eleven to twenty and $250 for twenty-one or more. The fee is non-refundable and payable with the application. The permit runs one year from issue — the code says that if it fails to state an expiry it expires automatically a year from the date of issuance — and must be displayed legibly and conspicuously at all times. Altering it renders it void and is itself a violation. Operating without one costs $150 in addition to the permit fee, and a late renewal compounds at 10 per cent for each month past due.
Food Establishment Plan Review
Required before a permit issues and again before any construction begins, but the code names no charge for it — section 16-8(c), read directly, states the requirement and stops there, so the absence is what the ordinance itself says rather than a gap in this research. The trigger is worth knowing precisely: plans go to the planning department wherever a food establishment is constructed, extensively remodelled — defined as a 25 per cent or greater increase in floor area — or wherever an existing structure is converted to food use. They must show the layout, equipment arrangement, mechanical plans, construction materials of work areas, and the type and model of proposed fixed equipment.
Per-Event Food Permit
$25 an event — under half the $52 state ceiling that most Texas jurisdictions charge, and among the cheapest event permits recorded here. The code frames the choice as one of duration: an applicant pays according to how long they wish to trade, per event or annually.
