Douglas County, Nevada
The Score Behind Every Table.
Letter Grades
Douglas County food establishments are inspected by CCHHS under the same scored letter grade system used in Carson City. Inspectors assess food safety practices and assign points for violations. The cumulative score determines the letter grade: A, B, or C. Establishments with critical violations posing an imminent health hazard face closure regardless of the overall score. CCHHS provides oversight through an interlocal agreement — not the state DPBH.
Excellent
High compliance with food safety standards. Few or no significant violations found during inspection.
Good
Moderate violations noted. Corrections required; re-inspection may be triggered depending on the nature and number of violations.
Needs Improvement
Significant violations requiring immediate corrective action. Re-inspection required. Continued C grades trigger escalated enforcement.
Closure
Critical violations posing an immediate health risk. Establishment closed until all hazards are eliminated and verified by CCHHS inspector.
