727 Operating without a Food Facility Health Permit times the cost of the PPHD recommends charging permanent, mobile, or temporary food vendors found operating without a health permit the amount authorized permit per California Health and Safety Code Section 114387 which states, "Any person who operates a food facility shall obtain all necessary permits to conduct business, including, but not limited to, a permit issued by the enforcement agency. In addition to the penalties under Article 2 | (commencing with Section 114390), violators who operate without the necessary permits shall be subject to closure of the food facility and a penalty not to exceed three times the cost of the permit."
