LICENSE FEES: Annual license fees are listed on our food service fee website and are based in part on the county your establishment is located and when you wish to open. The division divides the state into 7 licensing districts according to county. Licenses expire each year at the following times:

• District 1 - October 1
• District 2 - December 1
• District 3 - February 1
• District 4 - April 1
• District 5 - June 1
• District 6 - June 1
• District 7 - December 1

If applying less than six months prior to the expiration date, the fee is prorated to the half-year fee. If applying more than six months prior to the expiration date, the fee is the full-year fee. The division emails renewal reminder notices to the DBPR Online Services account holder about 60 days prior to expiration.Therefore, if you are applying within this period be mindful when your license expires so you can renew before expiration, since the division may not send additional reminders.

PLAN REVIEW: The operator of each public food service establishment to be newly constructed, remodeled, converted or re-opened shall submit properly prepared facility plans and specifications to the division for review and approval in accordance with provisions of law and rule prior to the start of the construction or change. See our plan review webpage for more information. If you are filing for plan review, please include:

• SCALED DRAWINGS: At least two (2) scaled drawings. A side view of the vehicle is also required. The division will keep one set of plans and return any additional sets to the applicant. You may also submit additional sets required by local authorities.  Click here for additional information.
