Seating count determines classification per Rule 1200-23-1. The $210 figure is the state fee documented on a TN county fee sheet ('STATE FEE: $210.00'); Tennessee's six home-rule metro counties add a local fee (e.g., Shelby +$150 = $360 total). Blount, as a state-administered county, is billed the state fee.
Mobile food units must comply with Rule 1200-23-1-.02(12) and operate from an approved commissary.
