Public Health Nuisances

The Jackson County Health Department's Environmental Health Division investigates public health nuisance complaints under authority of Ohio Revised Code 3707.01.  

The Environmental Health Division accepts public health nuisance complaints in writing only and investigates complaints to help reduce public health nuisances from occurring in Jackson County.

Failure of a property owner to abate a public health nuisance can result in re-inspection fees which are assessed as a lien on the property, court penalties, or other expenses incurred during the nuisance abatement process. 

Here you will find our complaint forms​ - If you need to report a public health nuisance, please complete the appropriate form entirely and return to the health department in person, or by fax to 740-286-8809.
