Business licences and permits in Castle Hills, Texas
Castle Hills runs its food licence year to a fixed calendar — renewals are due by 15 June and anything later costs double, as does operating without a licence at all. That doubling is the sharpest penalty in this dataset; most cities add a flat $100 or a percentage. The licence itself bands on employee count from $100 under three staff to $750 above ten. The city filed its whole master fee schedule with the state rather than just the health extract, so its planning and occupancy fees are recorded here too: a zoning change or special use permit is $500 and a commercial certificate of occupancy $150.
