Dear Food Establishment Owner/Operator Interested in Remodeling:

Congratulations on your decision to operate a food establishment in Saint Louis County! The Department of Health is here to assist you in remodeling your facilities while staying in compliance with all applicable codes. The Department has developed this web site to help your business venture continue to be a successful one. The following procedures can save you time and money:

If you are opening a new food establishment, submit, in person or via mail, plans, specifications, application(s), and fees to:

The Saint Louis County Department of Health – Division of Environmental Protection
111 South Meramec Avenue

Phone: (314) 615-8900

Please contact our office (314) 615-8900 at least seven (7) days in advance to schedule a construction/plan review inspection.
