Erie County Food Facility Inspections
Note: Inspections are a "snapshot" in time and are not always reflective of the day-to-day operations and overall conditions of an establishment. Occasionally, remediation may not appear in the reports until the following month due to the timing of the updates.

Temporary Food Stand Operator Information
To operate a temporary food stand, you must obtain an Erie County Health Permit and conform with the requirements of the State Sanitary Code for Temporary Food Service Establishments Part 14-2. Operation of a frozen dessert machine requires an additional fee of $25.
Please fill out the application and return it along with the proper fee to the address indicated at least five (5) days prior to the event to avoid an additional $40.00 late filing fee.
Your temporary stand is subject to inspection by this Department at any time during its operation to insure compliance with the State Sanitary Code.
