Plan Review and Permit application procedure:
Southeastern Idaho Public Health (SIPH) requires food establishments to receive approval of plans and specifications prior to obtaining a food license. The following establishments will be required to submit plans and specifications for approval prior to starting operations: new food establishment, remodeled establishment, or an establishment that is changing food operations (fast food to full service).
One full set of plans and specifications must be submitted to SIPH at a minimum of thirty (30) days before the date planned for opening (Idaho Food Code 8-302.11). Mobile food units must also comply with this requirement. Mobile food units that can establish that they were licensed by another Idaho Health District are exempt since the establishment had prior approval. The applicant for a license must be the legal owner or the agent of the legal owner of the food establishment.
SIPH prefers both the plan review and application for a food permit be submitted and all fees paid at the same time.
