Fulton County restaurants get 10–30 days after a C grade or failed score to correct violations. Every open violation at re-inspection costs you points or closes the restaurant. Here is everything you need to know, and how to fix it fast.
Deadlines are typical for Fulton County. Always verify with Fulton County Board of Health — Environmental Health Division.
The inspector returns to recheck every violation from the original report. They will verify that corrective actions were actually taken, not just that the symptom was temporarily fixed.
For Priority violations this means documented evidence: temperature logs showing proper cold-hold since the original inspection, signed employee illness agreements, corrected food handling observed on-site. A corrected temperature reading alone is not enough if the underlying practice has not changed.
Inspectors may also flag new violations they observe during the re-inspection visit. A re-inspection is not limited to the original violation list.
Correcting the condition without documenting it. Bring written proof to every re-inspection, even for violations that seem obvious to verify.
Priority violations must be corrected 72 hours for Priority violations. Priority Foundation violations are due 10 days for Priority Foundation violations. Core violations have 30 days for Core violations. Always confirm the exact deadline with Fulton County Board of Health — Environmental Health Division.
Fulton County may issue additional fines, schedule a second re-inspection, or, for serious ongoing violations, suspend your operating permit. Restaurants with scores indicating an imminent health hazard risk immediate closure.
Re-inspection fees in Fulton County are typically $100–$200 per re-inspection. Fees vary by violation count and may increase for repeat failures. Verify current fees with Fulton County Board of Health — Environmental Health Division.
Bring your Corrective Action Plan showing what was fixed and when, staff training sign-off sheets, temperature logs covering the period since the original inspection, and any invoices for equipment repairs or pest control.
Scores below 60 or imminent health hazard trigger emergency closure. For violations that do not trigger an immediate closure, you can typically continue operating while corrections are made, but all Priority violations must be corrected by the deadline or you risk closure at re-inspection.
