APPLICATION TO OPERATE A TEMPORARY FOOD ESTABLISHMENT
Iowa law prohibits a food establishment (including a Temporary Food Establishment) from opening or operating until a license has first
been obtained from the appropriate regulatory authority. Penalty Fees will be assessed for operating without the appropriate licensure.
A Temporary Food Establishment is a food establishment that operates for a period of no more than 14 consecutive days in
conjunction with a single event. An “Event” is a significant occurrence or happening sponsored by a civic, business, governmental,
community, or veterans organization and may include an athletic contest. For example, an event does not include a single store’s
grand opening or sale.
Completed applications and documents must be submitted at least 3 days prior to the Event.
Temporary food establishments that operate simultaneously at more than one stand at an event are required to have a separate license
for each location. Once the application, other required documents and appropriate fees are received and processed, the Department will
review the information to determine if a Temporary License may be issued.
TYPE or PRINT IN INK. INCOMPLETE APPLICATIONS WILL BE RETURNED WITHOUT REVIEW.
Permit will be sent to the e-mail address provided.
