  • Review the University of Houston’s Makers’ Market Policy (PDF)
  • Review the University of Houston’s Makers’ Market Flowchart (PDF).
  • A Makers' Market Permit request should be submitted for each vendor as well as any other permit requests that are applicable.
  • Send all Makers’ Market permit requests to foodsafety@uh.edu
  • A vendor will not be considered for review until all documents have been submitted with their food permit. Incomplete requests will not be reviewed.
  • The flowchart, which lists the specific documents needed for the different types of vendors, may be used as a guide to ensure that you have all of the appropriate documents prior to submitting their request. Any missing information or documents will be requested and will delay the review process.
  • Permit requests and any additional documents must be submitted and approved by the Wednesday before the upcoming makers' market in order to participate.
  • When sending the documents for review, ensure that each attachment is labeled to specify which vendor it is in reference to.
  • Ensure all documents are valid and legible prior to submitting. Vendors with blacked-out documents or expired documents will be rejected.
  • Vendors who do not sell food are not required to submit a temporary food dealer’s permit. We do not oversee the approval process for non-food vendors.
  • Vendors who share or use a commercial kitchen, or a kitchen that is inspected by the local health department, are required to submit the establishment (food dealer’s) permit for that kitchen.
  • If samples are being provided, the vendor must state how that will be done and list any equipment or utensils they will be using.
