Yakima County Environmental Health is proposing to increase most food service fees for 2027, according to the latest fee schedule document. The proposed fees would raise costs for restaurants, mobile food vendors, and food handlers. For example, Level I food service permits would increase from $118 to $269.50, while Level III permits would rise from $431 to $667.50. Mobile food vendors would see similar increases, with Level I moving from $118 to $325.50. The proposed fee for a Certified Food Protection Manager Certificate would increase from $40 to $60.
