STATE-administered gross-sales schedule (no county schedule); identical statewide, so Horry County (Myrtle Beach) uses the same SCDA fees as the rest of South Carolina. A one-time new-establishment/change-of-ownership application applies on top of the annual inspection fee - the specific new-permit dollar amount is on SCDA's 'How to Apply' page (confirm; commonly cited as $100). Once the fee is paid no paper permit is issued - the posted grade sticker serves as the permit.
STATE-administered by SCDA. A commissary/servicing base is required. Myrtle Beach's heavy seasonal/tourist food-truck activity is still permitted under the statewide Reg 61-25 program.
| Category | Annual fee | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Grocery / market with deli | Same statewide annual inspection fee by gross FOOD sales: $100 ($0-$250,000); $150 ($250,001-$500,000); $200 ($500,001-$750,000); $250 ($750,001-$1,000,000); $300 ($1,000,001-$1,250,000); $350 ($1,250,001-$1,500,000); $400 ($1,500,001-$1,750,000); $450 ($1,750,001+). | STATE-administered: SCDA does not break out grocery separately - a convenience store/grocery that prepares or packages food on-site pays on gross food sales (alcohol/general merchandise excluded). |
| Temporary / seasonal event | null - temporary/seasonal food at events is handled through SCDA's Event Authorization Application under Reg 61-25; a specific dollar fee is not on the annual inspection fee schedule. Confirm with SCDA (803-896-0640). | STATE-administered: distinct 'Event Authorization' pathway, fee not published on the annual schedule; relevant to Myrtle Beach's heavy event/festival calendar. |
| Pushcart / mobile vending | null - mobile food establishments use a Mobile Food Establishment supplemental application under Reg 61-25; the annual inspection fee follows the same gross-food-sales schedule ($100-$450). Confirm the exact mobile fee/base with SCDA (803-896-0640). | STATE-administered: distinct mobile supplemental application, but the fee is the uniform gross-sales inspection fee; commissary required. |
