Change of ownership application

Document last updated on Wednesday, April 10, 2024.

Summary

When an existing food facility changes hands, the new owner cannot use the existing health permit for the same food facility. 

Use this form to start the process of getting an inspection. After a successful inspection, the new owner receives a new permit to operate as a food facility. It is best to complete this process before acting on the purchase of any food facility.
