Last inspected:
36751 State Road 54, Zephyrhills, FL 33541Higher Up Smoke Shop in Zephyrhills has been inspected 7 times since July 2023, with a single outstanding priority violation: failure to provide documentation of an approved water source. The facility initially operated without a valid food permit and lacked approved water and sewage systems. Beginning in September 2023, inspectors issued repeated re-inspection notices approximately every 14 days, warning that continued operation without proper water source documentation would result in ongoing re-inspection fees and potential administrative action. The most recent focused inspection on January 9, 2024 found no violations, but the water source documentation issue remains unresolved; the inspector again warned that re-inspections will continue every 14 days until approved water and wastewater documentation is obtained.
