Nuisance Complaints

Per Ohio Revised Code 3707.01 and 3735, the Tuscarawas County Health Department is responsible for investigating and abating any public health nuisances in Tuscarawas County outside the city limits of New Philadelphia.  We receive many calls from concerned citizens about suspected nuisances which can include sewage, food, solid waste, tires, rodents, animal manure and insects. 

In order for us to investigate we must receive an official complaint from a citizen.  Confidentiality of nuisance complaints cannot be guaranteed and as the complaint form is a public record.  Below is a link to the nuisance complaint form.  Completed forms may be mailed to or submitted in person at 897 East Iron Avenue Dover, Ohio 44622 or emailed to eh@tchdnow.org
