Fixed Food Service Establishment Plan Review

• Extensively remodeled or
• Re-opened after being closed at least 1 year.

To submit plans for review, you must provide:

• Application fee of $150, payable by check or money order to the Division of Hotels and Restaurants. Cash is not accepted.
• At least three (3) scaled drawings. The division will keep two (2) and return any additional sets to the applicant. You may submit additional sets required by local authorities.
• Onsite Sewage (Septic) and Water Supply Evaluation form and
• A copy of the proposed menu.
