Public Health - Seattle and King County's Food and Facilities program (PHSKC) is interested in stakeholder feedback regarding a proposed restructuring of initial permit fees for a new food establishment.
Currently, PHSKC's new food establishment permit fee is pro-rated to 50% of the total fee if an applicant applies in the last half of the 12-month permit cycle (October – March).
The new proposal restructures this to a quarterly pro-rated fee schedule (Full fee, April – June; 75% fee July – September; 50% fee October – December, 25% fee January – March).
The quarterly pro-rated fee model is only proposed for first-time permit applicants and does not apply to existing food establishments and plan review fees.
Your feedback is essential in our decision-making process.
