Welcome to the Environmental Health Services Food Program
Mandated by State law (California Retail Food
Code), EHS permits and inspects retail food facilities
in Marin County. In addition to routine inspections, EHS staff responds
to health and safety complaints as well as reports of food-borne illness
associated with a food facility.
The purpose of the Food Program is to prevent the occurrence
of food borne illnesses; to promote the preparation, production and service
of food in hygienic, appealing food facilities and to protect the health
of the food worker by encouraging safe and sanitary on-the-job working
conditions.
What's New
EHS Fee Schedule - Effective July 1, 2011 A technology fee surcharge of $10 will be assessed on each permit separately from the permit fee in order to offset County costs associated with the permit tracking system.
