Port Charlotte, Fla. – The Florida Department of Health in Charlotte County announces plans to move its Environmental Health staff from its current location in the Building Department of Murdock Circle to the Department of Health location at 1100 Loveland Boulevard in Port Charlotte. The move will be effective March 1, 2019. This concludes a transition that began a year ago as part of consolidation of resources to improve services.

Staff will cease operations at Murdock Circle at the close of business on March 1. All Environmental Health services will continue to be available at Loveland Blvd. For client convenience there will be a drop box in Murdock, with collections scheduled daily.  

The Environmental Health program provides inspections of facilities such as tattoo and piercing shops, group care facilities, food establishments, mobile home parks, and swimming pools, as well as processes applications and conducts site evaluations for septic systems.
