Columbia County Health Department (East Central Health District, Georgia Department of Public Health)

Health Department Food Service and Public Swimming Pool Permits

The county's Inspections & Reviews page states that all commercial occupational tax applications are reviewed by the Health Department to determine whether the business is on county water and sewer and whether Health Department permitting will be required. It states that "Most food service businesses will require a permit from the Health Department or Georgia Department of Agriculture" and that "Public Swimming Pools: require a permit from the Health Department", and asks owners to contact the Health Department for plan review and requirements. A fitness studio needs the pool permit only as a scope consequence: a studio without a public pool is outside it. The Columbia County Health Department is part of the East Central Health District of the Georgia Department of Public Health, at 1930 William Few Parkway, Grovetown, 706-868-3330.
