Business licences and permits in Burleson, Texas
Burleson bands food service on floor area in five steps from $150 to $400, and groceries separately at $275 or $400 either side of 5,000 square feet. Two things are unusual and worth knowing. A food court is $200 per establishment inside it, and an adjunct operation — a counter inside a larger permitted premises — takes its own permit at $150 to $200, so a single building can carry several. And the late fee compounds: 10 per cent of the fee owed for the first 30 days, 20 per cent for the next, rising by a further 10 points every 30 days, with anything more than 90 days overdue having to be applied for afresh rather than renewed.

- Food trucksMobile food is the one category with no certificate of occupancy — but it gains a commissary agreement, and the unit itself is inspected rather than the premises.See the full permit list
- Fitness studiosPrepaid memberships trigger state registration and often a surety bond, which catches operators who budgeted only for the fit-out.See the full permit list
- Childcare centresThe heaviest permit load of any small business: state agency licensing, per-person background checks, and a stricter fire standard than ordinary commercial use.See the full permit list
