Food Vendor Launch Kit · 2026 Edition
Georgia
One PDF for Georgia: every state-level licence, fee and agency you need to start a food truck, trailer, cart or food stall at a farmers market — with a direct link to the official page behind every number, so you can confirm it yourself instead of taking our word for it. Local permits are set county by county, so the biggest counties are priced in full and every kit carries the directory to find the office that covers you.
Get the Georgia kit — $39The kit is $39, which is the cheapest line item in your launch. The expensive part was never a fee: it is applying for a permit in the wrong order and losing six weeks. Every figure was checked against an official Georgia government source, and when Georgia changes a rule you get the corrected kit at no extra cost.

This is a food business kit. If you sell crafts, art or other non-food goods, most of it will not apply to you.
Look inside
Two real pages from the Georgia kit.
Not a mock-up and not a sample chapter. This is the page that carries the direct links, and the Georgia at-a-glance page.
Why this exists
The information is public. It’s also scattered and often wrong.
Every figure in this kit was checked against an official Georgia government source, and that source link sits beside the number. Two things it turned up:
Georgia — mobile food permit
Since January 1, 2023 your county-of-origin permit is recognized in all 159 counties (HB 1443, 2022, codified at O.C.G.A. § 26-2-379) — but 'recognized' does not mean 'free'.
Georgia — business entity
The annual registration is not a soft deadline — miss April 1 and the SOS administratively dissolves the LLC; you then pay reinstatement on top of back registrations. You can pre-pay 2 or 3 years at once, which is the cheapest way to never think about it again.
What’s covered
Georgia food permits, completely — and nothing you’ll never use.
- Entity filing. Georgia Secretary of State, Corporations Division (file at eCorp) — the fee, the recurring cost, and the direct filing link.
- Mobile food permit. The county board of health in your 'county of origin' — the county where your base of operation sits — which office issues it, what it charges, and the application page.
- Cottage food. Cottage food operations, O.C.G.A. §§ 26-2-470 through 26-2-478 (added by HB 398, signed May 13, 2025, effective July 1, 2025) — the cap, what registration it takes, and the statute itself.
- Sales tax registration plus the commissary, market, and insurance question lists.
