A facility found to be in continued operation without a permit may incur a penalty of three (3) times the operating permit fee, and fee(s) for re-inspection(s) charged at the current hourly rate approved by the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors. Penalties and fees incurred due to enforcement activities must be paid in full prior to the issuance of an operating permit. **NOTE 48 hour notice/ payment barcode is showing on the report because facility's permit expired in April 2025.

No actions are needed until facility is notified either by mail or site visit.
