Licensing:
Licensing year is from July 1st through June 30. Renewals for licenses must be returned before July 1st to avoid a late fee being assessed. Licenses are not transferable. All fees (license fee, pre-inspection fee, etc.) must be paid before license is issued. Application for a new facility/change of owner can be found below:
Inspections:
All facilities are required by local ordinance to be inspected at least once a year. Re-inspections are also required for facilities with priority items (formerly critical violations). Pre-inspections are required for new facilities, change of owners, and significant remodels to existing facilities.
