Full Breakdown
Under § 6.06.003, semi-stationary and transient mobile food establishment (MFE) permits are issued by the Director of Development Services after review of a complete application and payment of the appendix A fee. The permit runs one year from issuance, travels with the establishment rather than the property, and a single MFE can hold both a semi-stationary and a transient permit if separate applications are filed for each. Operators must also carry a Williamson County and Cities Health District permit under § 6.06.004(a)(2) and get written landowner consent.
Violations & Fines
Operating without a displayed, current MFE permit is a violation subject to a director's notice, hearing, and permit suspension or revocation for severe or repeated noncompliance under § 6.06.007.
