Public Health Nuisance Complaints in Douglas, Grant, Pope, Stevens and Traverse Counties

What is a “Public Health Nuisance”?

A public health nuisance is defined as a “source of filth, illness, or a potential situation that could cause human illness, that is found on any property affecting the health or welfare of the general public”.

Examples of a public health nuisance may include:

  • Insect or rodent infestation
  • Evidence of a meth lab or other clandestine drug manufacturing
  • Improperly stored solid waste, such as rotting garbage or dead animals
  • Lack of water or sewage disposal

Please note: Clutter or general poor housekeeping is not considered a public health nuisance. Accumulations of clothing, household goods, magazines, or other examples of hoarding behavior are not necessarily a public health nuisance.

Public health nuisance complaints can be filed by contacting:
