Bar law change: On October 2, 2023, S.L.2023-129, Sec. 16 (HB 125) became law, amending G.S.130A-247(1) and G.S. 130A-250(4a) to more specifically define when a "bar" is exempt from regulation and permitting as a food establishment. Health Department staff are contacting bars via phone or email; however, due to the number of non-permitted bars in Cumberland County currently, we are requesting your assistance. Please contact Cumberland County Environmental Health at 910-433-3618 to discuss your establishment status and determine if a Health Department permit is required.
Every effort will be made to meet permit requirements by the deadline, establishments that submit an application by the March 27th deadline will have until October 1, 2024 to work towards meeting full permitting requirements.
