(A) Any person desiring to operate a food establishment must make a written application for a permit on forms provided by the regulatory authority. The application must contain the name and address of each applicant, the location and type of the proposed food establishment and the applicable fee. An incomplete application will not be accepted. Failure to provide all required information or falsifying information required may result in denial or revocation of the permit.
(B) Renewals for permits are required on an annual basis. All permits will expire on December 31st of each year. Renewal fees must be received prior to December 31st. Renewal fees received after December 31st will be double the permit fee. The same application information is required for a renewal permit as for an initial permit.
(C) Prior to the approval of an initial permit or the renewal of an existing permit, the regulatory authority shall inspect the proposed food establishment to determine compliance with state laws and rules. A food establishment that does not comply with state laws and rules will be denied a permit or the renewal of a permit.
