All Temporary Food Stands are required to obtain a permit from the Jefferson County Health Department prior to operation.

Organizations holding a current "Permanent Facility" permit must obtain a Temporary Food Stand permit before beginning off-site operations. Off-site operations will be subject to the $50 permit fee.

Mobile Food Stands may operate at any and all sites in the county without additional permits, but should notify the Jefferson County Health Department of their operating schedule.

No person shall operate a Temporary Food Stand or Mobile Food Stand without a permit. Permits may be obtained at the Jefferson County Health Department, 405 Main Street, Hillsboro, Missouri; Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM.
