About each permit
Public and Semi-Public Pool Inspection
$150 for the first pool, spa or splash zone and $100 for each additional one. "Semi-public" is the word that catches people — an apartment block, hotel or gym pool is not private and needs inspecting. The schedule does not state how often, so confirm the frequency before treating $150 as an annual cost.
Health Reinspection Fee
$150, and the schedule states the trigger precisely: a reinspection is required if the inspection score is 75 or less. That is a useful number to manage against, because it tells you exactly where the line sits. A facility can also request its own reinspection at the same $150, and a same-day, after-hours or holiday inspection is $150 at the inspector's discretion.
Temporary and Seasonal Food Permit
$52 per event per vendor for 14 days or less — charged per vendor, so a three-stall operation at one event pays $156 rather than $52. A seasonal permit covering six months is $200, which at four or more events is clearly the cheaper route.
Health Plan Review
$150 for plan review, and separately $75 for a pre-opening or change of ownership inspection. That $75 is the one operators taking over a going concern tend to miss: it is charged even where nothing is being built, simply because the premises is changing hands.
Food Establishment Health Permit
A food establishment is $350 under 2,000 square feet of gross floor area, $550 above 2,000 and $750 above 2,500 — note that the middle and top bands overlap as the schedule prints them, so confirm with the Health Division which applies between 2,000 and 2,500. A convenience store is $265, or $320 with a deli. Grocery and produce is $550 with additional departments at $350 each, so a supermarket with two counters pays $1,250. Warehouse, distribution and catering take the same $350 and $550 area bands. A self-service food market is $100. Paying late adds $100.
