Business licences and permits in Brazos County, Texas
The Brazos County Health District permits food establishments in College Station and Bryan, so neither city publishes a food fee schedule of its own. Its renewal pricing is the most finely graded in this dataset — a nine-cell grid of three risk levels against three size bands, running from $350 to $675 a year — which means the fee tracks the operation more closely here than anywhere else covered. The district charges a separate and much larger fee to open: $500 for a low-risk new city permit and $700 for medium or high risk, covering plan review, walk-through, opening inspection and the first year's compliance inspections, prorated by quarter. Registered 501(c)(3) food establishments pay nothing at all.
