Lake County Environmental Health

Lake County Environmental Health handles the public health side of permits and inspections from the Dave Stipe Annex in Polson. That covers septic and wastewater systems, food service and public accommodation inspections, trailer courts and campgrounds, body art studios, air quality, and the junk vehicle program.

On new subdivisions, it does the sanitation review once the Planning Department has given preliminary approval, checking that each lot has a workable spot for water and wastewater. Call ahead for a permit, an inspection, a septic records search, or to file a complaint.
