Food Plan Check

The Plan Check and Construction unit is responsible for reviewing the plans of new food establishments, existing food establishments that are being remodeled, and mobile food facilities such as vending vehicles and pushcarts. 

The New Construction Guide is included to assist in the construction of your establishment. Sample diagrams of floors plans, sinks, finish schedules, and other items can be viewed in our Illustrated Manual. The Illustrated Manual is an online index of images that coincide with the New Construction Guide requirements. Both of these guides can be downloaded and printed by clicking on the corresponding link above. Also each and every plan submittal must include the required "health notes". There are a variety of guidelines on plan check related topics below.
