DEH Public Records

file cabinet filled with file folders

Many Department of Environmental Health (DEH) files are available for public review at our office.  These files include permit records, reports and correspondence, UST compliance information, complaints, industrial compliance inspection files, and food facility and public swimming pool inspection reports.  Reference to other environmental health related programs or topics are listed on A to Z Services.

For information about public records not associated with DEH, please direct your questions to the appropriate department or call (858) 505-6700 for more information. Click this link for a list of County Departments. 

To review DEH records, please submit a written request to DEH to ensure the proper records are provided.  Once the written request to review the files has been received and files located, you will be contacted.  Some DEH records are now available online as noted below.
