The Environmental Division’s activities are performed to ensure healthy and safe living conditions for the residents of Auglaize County.

Fees and permits are based upon the actual cost that the Auglaize County Health Department incurs while providing the specific service. Below is the list of areas the Environmental Division is responsible for:
