Livingston County is considering waiving food license fees for restaurants and related service businesses this year.
Livingston County Health Department Director of Environmental Health, Matt Bolang, made the request to the countyâs General Government and Health and Human Services Committee, Monday. Food license fees are collected from about 437 establishments in the county. Fees for fixed establishments generally range between $627 - $1010, based on the size of the restaurant. Mobile unit fees are less. That comes out to around $335,000 annually that the county uses in conjunction with $137,000 from their Essential Local Public Funding Health Services contract funding to support food safety operations.
