​DSD Sanitarians

The goal of the Development Services Health Inspections Team is to promote healthy people and healthy communities through education and regulation of food service establishments which require a health permit.  Food establishment permits are required for restaurants, bars, grocery stores, schools, and other retail food establishments. Our team provides a comprehensive review of the construction and cosmetic interior of the food prep/ handling, storage areas, and restrooms of food service establishments prior to a health permit being issued at the site.
