Business licences and permits in Longview, Texas
Longview sets its food permit by category and tells you what each one buys: Category I at $400 is inspected quarterly, Category II at $300 twice a year, Category III at $250 annually. Very few schedules in this dataset make the link between fee and inspection frequency explicit, and it makes the pricing easy to understand. Every permit expires on 31 December regardless of when it was bought, so one taken out in the autumn is short-lived. Four kinds of business need no permit at all — daycares, premises selling only pre-packaged non-hazardous food, produce stands selling whole uncut produce, and registered 501(c)(3) non-profits.
