Our vision:
A safe and healthy Kitsap County for all.
Starting a Food Business
A food business is any food establishments that stores, sells, packages, serves, or prepares food for the public.
Note: If you plan to sell or serve food at a public event, visit our Temporary Food Establishments page.
We are here to help you be successful! To get started:
Complete a quick survey to determine what applications you may need.
Submit and pay for applications. Fees are non-refundable.
Review the applications with a Kitsap Public Health inspector.
After the review, complete a Food Permit Application.
Submit and pay for the application. Fees are non-refundable.
After everything has been approved, you can open for business!
