| PLAN REVIEW |
Before any food service facility is built or remodeled a plan review must be completed by the local
health department. A plan review application and worksheet
must be submitted at least thirty days prior to the planned beginning of construction. Include all
of the following information:
- Plan review application and any necessary plan review fees.
- Completed Plan Review Worksheet
- Menu
- Standard Operating Procedures (SOP's)
- One complete set of plans.
- Equipment specifications
See submission instruction for more detail.
After the plans have been reviewed and approved, you will receive a letter authorizing construction.
During construction, a sanitarian may visit to check progress. A completed food service license
application must also be submitted along with license fees
at this time. Contact your local health department office several days in advance to arrange for a
pre-opening inspection. The inspector will verify all work was completed according to plans; all
equipment is operational, and all required inspections including plumbing, electrical, mechanical,
and building have been completed and approved. Once the facility has been found to be in substantial
compliance with the food code requirements and building occupancy has been granted, approval to operate
will be authorized.
