Plano food establishments are inspected by Collin County Environmental Health under the Texas Food Establishment Rules. Inspection scores and reports are published online and posted upon request, though Plano does not use a letter-grade placard like some other jurisdictions.
Collin County Environmental Health Services performs routine inspections of Plano restaurants, mobile food units, and temporary food establishments roughly every six months under TFER (25 TAC Chapter 228). Inspectors score violations on a 100-point demerit scale; critical priority items must be corrected immediately or within ten days. Reports are public records posted on the Collin County website. Permits are issued by the county, not the city, and food handler and food manager certifications are required. Repeat critical violations can trigger reinspections, permit suspension, or court action. Plano restaurants must also meet city zoning and grease-trap requirements administered by Public Works.
Operating without a Collin County food permit, ignoring critical violation corrections, or refusing inspector access can result in permit suspension, daily fines, and possible court-ordered closure until reinspection passes.
