(1) Permit requirements. Any party seeking to obtain the Local Food permit shall submit a written application to the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness upon a form provided by that agency. The applicant must be in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and Metro Louisville. Permits will renew annually on January 1 in conjunction with state food service permits.
(2) Fees and schedule. The fee for an annual Local Food permit is Seasonal Concessions (603) = $25, Retail Food Market (610) = $50, Temporary Food Service Establishment (604) = $80, Food Service Establishment (605) = $80, and Combination Retail Food Market and Food Service Establishment (607) = $80. The Board will annually review the administrative cost of enforcement to determine whether the Local Food permit fee is sufficient to meet the expense of administering the program. If the annual review reveals a deficit with enforcement, the Board may approve an increase of the Local Food permit fee no more than $5 within any four year period. If the annual review reveals a surplus with enforcement, the Board shall decrease the Local Food permit fees to an amount sufficient to cover the administrative cost of enforcement.
