Oregon restaurant licensing is delegated to counties; Lane County adopts its OWN annual rate sheet (well above the ORS 624.490 statutory state minimums of $530-$770), so the county figures above govern. Licenses are due each Dec 31; late-payment penalty is one-half the license fee per month.
Lane County 2026 rate sheet. Mobile units must operate from a licensed Commissary ($665). Out-of-county units already licensed elsewhere pay a reduced $25.
