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 questionnaire to determine what applications you may need.
Submit and pay for the Plan Review fees determined in your questionnaire. Fees are non-refundable.
A Kitsap Public Health inspector will review your submittal and reach out within 30 days.
After your Plan Review is approved, complete a Food Permit Application and submit it at least 5 days before your intended opening date.
Submit and pay for the Permit. Fees are non-refundable. Your inspector will reach out to schedule your pre-opening inspection.
After everything has been approved, you can open for business!
