Environmental Health ensures that new and remodeled retail food facilities in Tulare County comply with California State laws and local ordinances relating to construction, building materials, equipment, equipment installation, and ventilation systems.
Kitchens such as restaurants, mobile food facilities, schools, shared kitchens, and licensed healthcare facility kitchens all require food plan review. Plan review consists of submitting two sets of plans with appropriate fees. See plan review forms link below for forms and plan review requirements.
After submittal plans are reviewed by our staff. Once plans are approved, the construction of the kitchen may begin. Two construction inspections will be conducted by our staff (preliminary and a final) to make sure that the kitchen meets regulatory standards.
Once the final construction inspection is passed the business owner may apply for a health permit by filling out the health permit application form. The owner will be invoiced for the health permit fees. Once fees are paid a health permit may be issued.
