Food Establishment Permit & Plan Review — Southern Nevada Health District

What it is. The food establishment health permit for restaurants throughout Clark County (including the City of Las Vegas and the unincorporated Strip), issued by the Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD) after plan review and a pre-opening inspection. Plan Review processes new, remodel, and change-of-ownership applications.

Who issues it. Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD) — Environmental Health / Plan Review (Regional/county layer). Plan Review: 2830 Fremont St, Las Vegas; (702) 759-1258; foodrev@snhd.org.

When you need it. Submit plans (via the EH Portal) before construction/remodel; you may not stock food or open until the final permitting inspection is passed and other agency approvals are obtained.

How to apply. Apply electronically via the SNHD EH Portal; the establishment must be fully functional (water, power, gas, hot water, equipment operational) for the pre-opening inspection.

Fees. Per the SNHD fee schedule — see source (⟢ VERIFY).

Renewal. Annual.

What SpoonSeal tracks. The document(s) you upload for this requirement, with automatic renewal/expiration tracking (Current, Due Soon, Expired). Where the city publishes health-inspection results (e.g., NYC and Chicago), SpoonSeal syncs them automatically; elsewhere they can be added manually.
