JOLIET, IL – Restaurant owners in Will County who have been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic and do not pay their permit fee by Dec. 31 will not be charged a late fee, officials announced Tuesday.
The Will County Board of Health has passed a revision to the Will County Health Department Food Ordinance that will postpone late fees for food operators.
"Anyone not paying their regular fee will be considered 'operating without a valid food permit' and will need to cease operations until it is paid in full," said WCHD Environmental Health Director Tom Casey in a prepared statement. "Only food operators operating without a permit after March 1 will be assessed the late fee."
