When caring for more than five (5) children, a health permit to operate must be obtained. Application should also be made to the Florida Dept. of Children and Families as a private home facility or center by contacting that agency at 238-4688. The Volusia County Health Department is required to perform a plan review of the facility. This requires one (1) set of plans to be submitted which includes:

• A plot plan showing property lines, wells, septic tanks, and physical location of all structures.
• A floor plan of the proposed facility showing bathrooms, nursery area, kitchen and all other features.
• A separate plan of the kitchen shall be provided if food preparation is desired.
• Facilities serviced by a septic system and /or drinking water well will require separate approval of these systems by the Volusia County Health Department.
