A food business is any food establishments that stores, sells, packages, serves, or prepares food for the public.

  1. Complete a quick survey to determine what applications you may need.

  2. Submit and pay for applications. Fees are non-refundable. 

  3. Review the applications with a Kitsap Public Health inspector. 

  4. After the review, complete a Food Permit Application.  

  5. Submit and pay for the application. Fees are non-refundable. 

  6. After everything has been approved, you can open for business!
