Vancouver, Wash. – Clark County residents and business owners needing to submit permit applications, renewals and payments to Public Health soon will be able to perform those tasks online. Clark County Public Health is rolling out new features on its website that will allow users to meet permit requirements without making a trip to the department office.

Users of the new online system will be able to submit applications, receive application status notifications, make payments, upload required documents, and review account activity.

Public Health will add online capabilities for a variety of services throughout the rest of the year. Beginning today, people seeking permits for temporary food establishments can submit applications online. Public Health issues about 180 single- and multi-event temporary permits each year.

Later this summer, food establishment and mobile unit operators will be able to submit information for their annual plan reviews and permits on the website. A portal for making vital records requests  also will be available online in the coming months.

Later this year, the Public Health website will have capabilities for submitting on-site sewage treatment system design and installation applications, septic release and water adequacy reviews, and individual well and small drinking-water system applications.

The review and permit processes for water recreation facility plans also will be available online, and website users will be able to make payments for existing annual permits.

In addition to providing permit processes online, Public Health will update its website features for submitting Public Health complaints and reviewing restaurant inspection scores.
