Inyo County California

COVID-19

The 2023 fee schedule will remain unchanged from 2022. 

The Inyo County Environmental Health Department has officially moved all our in-person operations to the Bishop offices at 1360 N. Main Street. However, we will maintain a South County EH presence in our water lab on the lower floor of the Annex building south of the Courthouse in Independence. So, if you need something couriered up to us, see Carolyn in the lab. 

• You may submit all questions and applications by phone, email, or through the post office. However, if you need to meet in person, please make an appointment using the contact information found on the Staff page under the Environmental drop-down menu to the left. We can send you a video conference invite if that works better for you. 
• Payments by check or by credit card are preferred. Please use the one-time payment option in the Environmental Health Payments link below for credit cards, and you can now mail checks and paperwork to the following:

Our mission is to prevent environmental public health hazards. We succeed by being a responsive team that prevents these hazards through environmental education and consistent enforcement, when necessary, of the facilities and programs under our jurisdiction.

Registered Environmental Health Specialists and associated staff conduct regular inspections of permitted facilities, investigate complaints, and strive to determine the causes of environmental health-related illnesses and develop strategies to prevent them. To foster this mission, our water quality laboratory conducts bacteriological and other yearly analyses of over 2500 samples.

This department welcomes input from the public-both residents and our visitors alike.  We are here to help.
