When you need plan review

Lincoln County requires plan review before any of these:

  • Building a new food establishment
  • Converting an existing building into a food establishment
  • Remodeling a food establishment
  • Changing the type of food operation, such as adding cooking to a grab-and-go shop

Have these ready for the reviewer:

  • A floor plan showing every piece of equipment, hand sink, three-compartment sink, mop sink and floor drain
  • Equipment spec sheets showing NSF/ANSI or ETL Sanitation certification
  • Your menu, so reviewers can check refrigeration, hot holding and cooling capacity
  • Plumbing details: water heater size, indirect drains on ice machines and prep sinks, backflow prevention
  • Finish schedule for floors, walls and ceilings

Staff

  • The health department offers food handler certification. Ask what your staff need before you open
