About each permit
Food Establishment PermitSalt Lake City
Salt Lake City has no health department of its own; this is the real, delegated local food-permitting authority — the Salt Lake County Health Department, confirmed as the department's current name since 2013 despite the city's own Mobile Food Business page still using the retired 'Salt Lake Valley Health Department' label. Plan review requires a minimum of 10 working days and must be approved before construction or remodeling begins. A city business license application also requires this permit to be on file. A coffee shop preparing and serving food or beverages for immediate consumption is licensed the same way as a restaurant.
Mobile Food Service (Food Truck) PermitSalt Lake City
Requires attending a Mobile Food Service Class, a signed Commissary Agreement (a residential kitchen is not allowed), and a Restroom Agreement, all completed before the plan review stage. This is the food-safety half of Salt Lake City's food-truck requirements; the city's own separate Mobile Food Business license (recorded above, from the Finance Department) additionally licenses the vehicle as a business and is required on top of this county permit.
Residential Care (Adult and Child) Food Service InspectionSalt Lake City
This is the Health Department's own kitchen/food-service inspection for a childcare centre that prepares or serves food, additional to and separate from the Utah DLBC state child-care license and the city's own Childcare Facilities business-license fee recorded above — easy to miss because it is filed with the county health department rather than the childcare licensing agency. The September 2026 Health Department Fee Schedule lists it as 'Residential Care (Adult and Child) Food Service Inspection' at $115.
Cosmetology Facility PermitSalt Lake City
Utah's own cosmetology board (DOPL) licenses only the individual practitioner, never the salon itself (see this site's Utah state page) — this county permit is the actual premises-level requirement for a Salt Lake City salon. The same fee schedule prices near-identical Body Art (tattoo/piercing) and Tanning facility categories separately, for a salon that also offers those services. On the city's own Business Licensing fee schedule, a salon pays only the base Commercial license fee (recorded above) — no separate salon or barbershop category exists there.
Cosmetology Facility PermitWest Jordan
Utah's own cosmetology board (DOPL) licenses only the individual practitioner, never the salon itself, per the state layer's own findings — this county permit is the actual premises-level requirement for a West Jordan salon. West Jordan's own business-license fee schedule carries no separate salon, barbershop, or personal-services category — a salon here pays only the flat base Business license fee on top of this county permit.
Food Establishment PermitWest Jordan
West Jordan has no health department of its own; this is the delegated county-level food-permitting authority, currently named 'Salt Lake County Health Department' since 2013 — the city's own Commercial Business License checklist (last updated 09/2020) still instructs applicants to contact the 'Salt Lake Valley Health Department,' the same retired name Salt Lake City's own site was found using. Plan review requires a minimum of 10 working days and must be approved before construction or remodeling begins. A coffee shop preparing and serving food or beverages for immediate consumption is licensed the same way as a restaurant.
Mobile Food Service (Food Truck) PermitWest Jordan
Requires attending a Mobile Food Service Class, a signed Commissary Agreement (a residential kitchen is not allowed), and a Restroom Agreement, all completed before the plan review stage. This is the food-safety half of a West Jordan food truck's requirements, required on top of both the city's own Vendor License (Food Truck) and the Fire Department's own mobile-food inspection fee, both recorded above.
Residential Care (Adult and Child) Food Service InspectionWest Jordan
The Health Department's own kitchen/food-service inspection for a childcare centre that prepares or serves food, additional to and separate from the Utah DLBC state child-care license recorded at the state layer, the West Jordan Fire Department's own Home Childcare Facility inspection recorded above (which applies only to home-based daycare), and the general Commercial Business Fire Inspection that a center-based childcare facility owes instead. Easy to miss because it is filed with the county health department rather than the childcare licensing agency.
Residential Care (Adult and Child) Food Service InspectionWest Valley City
The Health Department's own kitchen/food-service inspection for a childcare centre that prepares or serves food, additional to and separate from the Utah DLBC state child-care license recorded at the state layer and from the Fire Department's own business fire and life-safety inspection recorded above. Easy to miss because it is filed with the county health department rather than the childcare licensing agency.
Food Establishment PermitWest Valley City
West Valley City's own Business License Ordinance defines 'Health Department' to mean the Salt Lake County Health Department directly, the delegated local food-permitting authority for the city. Plan review requires a minimum of 10 working days and must be approved before construction or remodeling begins. A coffee shop preparing and serving food or beverages for immediate consumption is licensed the same way as a restaurant.
Mobile Food Service (Food Truck) PermitWest Valley City
Requires attending a Mobile Food Service Class, a signed Commissary Agreement (a residential kitchen is not allowed), and a Restroom Agreement, all completed before the plan review stage. This is the food-safety half of a West Valley City food truck's requirements; the city's own separate Food Vending Unit license (recorded above, capped citywide at fifteen) additionally licenses the vehicle as a business and is required on top of this county permit.
Cosmetology Facility PermitWest Valley City
Utah's own cosmetology board (DOPL) licenses only the individual practitioner, never the salon itself, per the state layer's own findings — this county permit is the actual premises-level requirement for a West Valley City salon. West Valley City's own business-license fee schedule carries no separate salon, barbershop, or personal-services category — a salon here pays only the flat base Commercial license fee on top of this county permit.
