Business licences and permits in Gillespie County, Texas
Gillespie County bands its retail health permit on employee count in three tiers from $385 to $500, and — unusually — bands plan review the same way, from $100 to $300. Most jurisdictions charge plan review flat, so a small operator here pays a third of what a large one does for the same service. The temporary event ladder is the most carefully graded in this dataset: $50 for a one-time 14-day event, $200 for the year, $100 for farmers market vendors, plus a $20 late fee within ten days of the event and a $50 expedited fee within three, with no permits issued on the day itself. Non-profit organisations are exempt from the retail health permit.
