Food Inspections

The Corpus Christi-Nueces County Public Health District encourages restaurant owners and staff to ask a restaurant inspector to show their City of Corpus Christi identification if they are visited by someone for an inspection. A City-County Health Inspector will always have identification on them. The Health District does not charge for restaurant inspections and inspectors do not accept money on site. 

If re-inspection becomes necessary, there will be an inspection fee. The fee is to be paid at the office and not during re-inspection.

 

Permits

Copies of food handler permits and issuance of food establishment permits are available at 1702 Horne Rd. Corpus Christi, TX 78416.
