Food Service Establishments

Before an operator can prepare and sell food in NC, a permit for retail food service will most likely be required. Permits are issued by Environmental Health after a thorough review of menus, plans, and equipment considerations. Please contact us if you are in doubt whether the food service you are planning needs a permit.

Permit applications can be submitted via email or in-person. 

We can accept payments in our office from 8:00am-4:00pm, Monday - Friday.

Permit applications can be found by selecting the correct category below.
