How do I obtain a permit for a foodservice business in a commercially zoned space?

To secure a food establishment permit for an existing restaurant you must apply in person at the:


Nassau County Health Department
Office of Food Protection – North Entrance
106 Charles Lindbergh Blvd, Uniondale NY 11553
516-227-9717
 

You should bring with you your corporate seal, names, addresses and home phone numbers of all corporate officers [if incorporated], federal tax ID#/or social security #, workers compensation and disability insurance policy information (carrier, policy # and expiration date) and a check for the permit fee [determined by the # of seats & type of operation]. Also, if you are building a new restaurant or renovating an existing one, you must first submit plans showing all equipment and sinks in detail to us before applying for a permit. You will be notified by mail if the plans have been approved.
