The Jefferson County Board of Health (JCBOH) is proposing to adopt a local rule that establishes fees for permits and services in anticipation of state legislation that will repeal the current rule that gives the JCBOH the authority for the current environmental health fee schedule. The new local rule does not include any fee increases. The fees will remain the same. Questions can be sent to Gillian.R.Olsen@wv.gov
This rule is open for public comment. All public comments must be received by March 7, 2024 at 5:00pm. Public comments can be submitted to JeffersonBOH@wv.gov or mailed to the Jefferson County Health Department, ATTN: Gillian Olsen, 1948 Wiltshire Road, Suite 1, Kearneysville, WV 25430.
