Additional plans for a kitchen will be required if food is prepared and served to guests.

If swimming pools or spas are planned, properly prepared plans and specifications must be submitted to the local Health Authority for review, approval, and issuance of a construction permit as per applicable rules and regulations governing public swimming pools. 5. The owner or authorized representative must coordinate with all internal programs relevant to the project such as On-site Sewage Management, Non Public Water, Swimming Pools and Food Service to obtain applicable approvals. 6.

C. Permit Application Process: 1. Application for a permit to operate such tourist accommodation shall be made in duplicate on forms provided by the Department. 2. The forms shall be completed in all details and signed by the applicant or authorized agent and submitted at least ten days before the scheduled opening. 3. The original shall be filed with the Health Authority in the county where the facility is located. 4. The Health Authority shall grant the permit or write a statement detailing the reasons for denial. The permit or statement shall be forwarded to the tourist accommodation operator. 5. Permits shall expire upon change of ownership, location, or change in type of operation. A “change of ownership” means the transfer of a 50% interest or greater in the tourist accommodation to a person or entity not holding a current interest. 6. A signed certificate of occupancy or evidence of approval by all other local agencies with jurisdictions over construction, zoning and safety must be approved before permit issuance by the local Health Authority Representative. 7. The permit shall be void when the tourist accommodation ceases to operate or moves to another location. The operator shall be responsible for notifying the Health Authority when the Tourist Accommodation ceases to operate and for removing the invalid permit from the facility. 8. After a Tourist Accommodation permit has been issued by the Health Authority, any significant or material change of the Tourist Accommodation’s physical layout that would alter the interior or exterior structural blueprint of the facility may invalidate the permit. Unless prior approval has been obtained from the Health Authority, the facility shall maintain the physical layout shown within the approved plans and specifications of the Tourist Accommodation at the time of permit issuance. 9. Operators shall notify the Health Authority before any structural, material or equipment changes to obtain approval if necessary.
