Prerequisites for Operation
Plans for new food establishments must be submitted to the regulatory authority per 410 IAC 7-24, Section 110. IAC 410-7-24, Section 107, states that the retail food establishment shall notify the regulatory authority with intent to operate at least thirty (30) days prior to registering.
The regulatory authority is either the county health department or the Indiana State Department of Health. The submission of plans is also required by the Local Planning and Zoning Department (812-738-8927) as well as other state entities, such as Fire and Building Services. Your architect or engineer should have that information.
