Licensing & Certification Guide

Your commercial or manufacturing space must have a key box if it’s required by your town. A key box holds building keys for firefighters, police, and other emergency personnel to use when needed. Contact your Local Enforcing Agency (LEA) to see if you need to get a key box and how to get one.

Life Hazard Use (LHU) is a label assigned to businesses with a commercial or manufacturing space that present a higher risk to human life during fires and other emergencies. Contact your Local Enforcing Agency (LEA) to learn if your business is an LHU.

If your business is an LHU, you must register with the State and pay the associated fee to operate your business.

Non-Life Hazard Use (NLHU) is a label assigned to businesses with a commercial or manufacturing space that do not present a higher risk to human life during fires and other emergencies. If your business is an NLHU, you may need to register with your LEA and pay the associated fee to operate your business.

Contact your Local Enforcing Agency (LEA) to learn if your business is an NLHU and how to register, if required.

Food trucks need to be cleaned and sanitized according to the guidelines from your local Department of Health. The regulation and licensing of food trucks vary by location.

You'll need to check license requirements with the county and/or local Department of Health in every county where you plan to do business.
