Issued by The county health department’s environmental health office, under Georgia Department of Public Health rules (Chapter 511-6-1), at step 4 of 6 in the opening sequence: get the permits for your kind of business.
Food eaten on the premises is permitted by the county health department. Submit plans before building out or converting a space (Fulton quotes at least six weeks for review), pass the opening inspection, then post the permit. A place that mostly sells food to take away is licensed by the Department of Agriculture instead; whichever side makes up most of the sales decides.
