Temporary Food Permits are required of anyone serving food in the City of Beaumont whether the food is given away or sold and when the operation is not conducted from a licensed food service establishment. An application is required to be filled out and and submitted no less than one week prior to the beginning of the event for approval. A food handler certification is required to be obtained, before the temporary permit inspection date.

Temporary Food Permits for 1 to 5 booths are $30 per booth for the initial day. Each subsequent day will be charged $15 (with a max of 14 days), 6 or more booths require a Special Event Permit which is $220 per day of operation of the event. Permits must be applied for and purchased at least 30 days in advance of the Special Event.

A 50% discount is given when the organization is non-profit and youth or elderly oriented.
