Clermont health inspections now available online

CLERMONT COUNTY, OH (FOX19) - Clermont County has unveiled a new system that allows the public to access health inspection reports online.

People can access health inspection information online by simply entering the name or address of the facility or home.

The Health District does unannounced inspections of restaurants, grocery stores, convenience stores, and vending operations at least once a year.

“Having the reports online will help the public see how the restaurants they visit are doing,” said Robert Perry, Environmental Health Director. 

He encourages consumers to examine inspections over time to get a better representation of how a facility is doing. 

“Not only will having the inspection results available online provide valuable information to the public, it saves staff time processing requests for public information,” said Robert Wildey, Director of Water and Waste.
