Grant County Permit Basics
Grant County — covering Williamstown, Dry Ridge, and Crittenden — is served by Northern Kentucky Health Department. The same ~$150 annual MFU permit that covers Boone, Kenton, and Campbell counties covers Grant County as well. Grant County is a largely rural county at the southern edge of the NKY metro; most food truck activity centers on Williamstown (county seat) and Dry Ridge along I-75.
One important local consideration: Grant County is a moist county — alcohol sales are legal only in Williamstown and Dry Ridge, not throughout the unincorporated county. This affects food trucks operating at private events where alcohol may be served nearby, but does not directly impact the food permit process.
