Clermont County public health phones, vaccines, WIC and property services
The agency people often search for as “Clermont County Health Department” is officially Clermont County Public Health. It operates separate Batavia offices for Administration/Environmental Health and for Nursing/WIC.
That distinction matters. Birth certificates, septic permits, food inspections and private-water questions go through Bauer Road, while vaccinations, communicable-disease services and WIC are centered at Clermont Center Drive.

CCPH can issue certified copies of Ohio death certificates filed from 1971 forward. Call first for records from 2006 or earlier to confirm printing availability.
The currently linked county request form lists $25 per certified birth, death or fetal-death record.

The department recommends waiting at least two weeks after a baby is born before requesting the new birth certificate.
Clermont County septic permits, inspections and operation permits
All household sewage-treatment systems in Clermont County are part of the Public Health operation-permit program. New construction, major repairs, replacements and certain property improvements can require review before work begins.
These systems are generally inspected once every 19 months.
Systems without those electrical components are generally inspected once every 38 months.
CCPH works township by township. Owners generally receive a postcard roughly 90 days before routine inspections reach their township.
Private wells, cisterns and water testing
Private water is a major local issue because Clermont County’s geology can make conventional wells difficult. CCPH says cisterns are the county’s most commonly used type of private water system.
Apply for the private-water system at the same time as the household sewage-treatment system when building a home without public water/sewer.
The application must identify a properly registered private-water-system contractor.
Bring a site plan showing where the proposed private-water system will be placed.
Food safety, pools, plumbing and other inspections
CCPH handles food plan review, licensing, temporary food permits, mobile units, ownership changes and food-inspection complaints.
Residential and commercial plumbing projects are reviewed by CCPH plumbing inspectors.
Public swimming pools and spas are regulated through the Environmental Health program.
Tattoo/body-art establishments and temporary events have separate plan review and application routes.
Permanent and temporary campground sanitation/licensing requirements are overseen by Public Health.
Public-health nuisance complaints should normally be submitted using CCPH’s online or written complaint process.
