TEMPORARY FOOD LICENSE


In general, a Temporary Food License is needed when food is being prepared and/or sold at an event for no more than 5 days in a row. Seven (7) days are allowed for the county fair for Fulton County residents. 


There are exemptions (church premises, school premises, volunteer fire department, etc). 


Please speak with a Health Department representative before applying for a Temporary Food License.
