Are you thinking about opening a restaurant, food truck, or other food-based business in Sierra Vista?  We would love to have you!  Starting a food-based business requires some additional considerations that you should be familiar with as you proceed.  In addition to working with City building officials to make sure your building or food truck is ready to operate, you will also need to coordinate with the Cochise County Environmental Health Services Division.  County Environmental Health ensures a safe and healthy environment to keep food safe for the public.  You can find an overview of their services and requirements on their website.  We suggest giving them a call and including them in the process from the very beginning to ensure a smooth and timely process.  Our City business liaison is also able to help get you connected and make sure your questions are answered.
