Fannin County Environmental Health

We have Environmental Health offices located in each of our six district counties. Although we work within local counties, and often in county administrative buildings, we are a separate agency from other county government departments. At the local, county/district level, Environmental Health oversees programs to protect lives through surveillance, education, assessment, and enforcement.

We are commonly thought of as "health inspectors"; however, this description does not reflect all of our duties. You might find us inspecting a restaurant or body art studio, investigating a case of lead poisoning, evaluating a property for a septic permit, inspecting your neighborhood pool, assisting after disasters, conducting plan reviews for establishments we regulate such as hotels, pools, and restaurants, reviewing a proposed subdivision, educating a homeowner about their septic system, advising an animal bite victim about potential rabies exposure, and much more.
