About this procedure
The health permit isn't something you get once and forget: the rules require renewing it every year, notifying SACS that your establishment is still operating and continues to meet health standards. It's an obligation many businesses lose sight of, because the first permit is celebrated as an achievement and then nobody keeps track of the expiration date, until the trouble shows up: city hall asks for a current permit to renew the license, or a health inspection arrives and finds the permit expired.
And at that point an expired permit weighs the same as not having one: it holds up the renewal of your business license (patente) and exposes you to the same penalties as operating without a permit, fines and, in serious cases, measures against the premises. For a food business, which lives on being open every day, having an expired paper turn into a roadblock or a closure for a few days is an absurd blow, and completely avoidable just by renewing on time.
We keep it current for you: we track your annual expiration, gather and update what's needed and handle the renewal of your health permit with SACS before it expires. The price starts at $85 and is adjusted to your case. A lawyer reviews your situation and confirms it with you before we start, no strings attached.
