Important Update… ODH Bureau of Environmental Health and Radiation Protection is excited to announce the release of the new ODH Accela Solution online data system. The ODH Accela Solution is replacing the current HealthSpace solution and provides easy and intuitive online accessibility to apply for licenses, permits, and other services from ODH and your participating Local Health District (LHD) for the following programs: Food, Pools, Campgrounds, Spas, Body Art, Resident Camps, Sewage, Private Water, and Agricultural Labor Camps. Important Updates for Contractors and Facility Owners: - The ODH Accela Solution provides contractors and facility owners access to the online Accela Citizen Access (ACA) Portal which can be accessed from your computer or mobile device using Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari web browsers (most recent two versions are supported). Communication between the ACA Portal and the database is near real-time.
- The ODH Accela Solution and the ACA Portal will be going live for ODH and LHDs in two releases – May 2025 and December 2025. See the LHD transitioning and go-live schedule below for your LHD’s go-live date. ODH went live with the new system on May 16, 2025. You can access the ODH ACA Portal using the URL below. You can create an account by accessing the CREATE AN ACCOUNT link at the bottom of the Logon screen. Once you’ve created an account, you can submit applications to ODH.
https://aca-prod.accela.com/EHOHIO/Default.aspx - As ODH and your LHD transition to the new ODH Accela Solution, the HealthSpace Live Portal website will permanently stop accepting application submissions for ODH and all LHDs. The transition period takes about a week for each LHD. You can either wait to submit your online application once the ODH Accela Solution is turned on for ODH or your LHD, or you can submit a hard copy application to ODH or your LHD as applicable. ODH will be in this transition period from 5/10/2025 to 5/15/2025. See the LHD transitioning and go-live schedule below for your LHD’s transition period.

- Information previously submitted in the HealthSpace system will be viewable in the new ACA Portal by using a secure PIN number that will be emailed to you shortly after go-live. If you don’t receive an emailed PIN Number, contact ODH (for applications submitted to ODH) or your LHD (for applications submitted to LHD) to obtain a PIN Number. The email will either be from an odh.ohio.gov or Accela.com domain name.
- The ACA Portal supports secure online credit card payments for ODH and LHDs. Check with your LHD to see if this option is available. Find your local health department on ODH’s website.
Our mission is to protect the health of all foodservice customers. The internet offers an opportunity to share information which may assist you in being a well-informed foodservice consumer.
Inspections conducted beginning January 1, 2012 can be found on this site. If you are unable to find inspection history for a particular facility it is possible that the facility has been recently licensed or transferred their license to a new owner. New facilities will be inspected in the first month of operation. Facilities with a transferred license do not show inspection history from the prior owner on this website, however this information is available upon request.
A person or entity that wishes to serve food to the public is required by law to first obtain a license from the Clermont County General Health District. These licenses are issued following a review of facility plans and menu and assuring, by inspection, compliance with food safety standards and practices. Routine inspections during subsequent operation of the food service assess the operator's success in assuring that the facility and the equipment are maintained and that routine practices are conducted in a safe and sanitary manner.
If deficiencies are observed during these routine inspections, they are described in an inspection report with reference to a relevant section of the Ohio Uniform Food Safety Code. Such deficiencies are typically classified as either critical, posing a direct or immediate threat to the safety of the food being served, or non-critical, representing a failure of cleaning or maintenance.
Ideally, an operation would have no critical violations, but it is unrealistic to expect that a complex, full-service food operation can routinely avoid having any violations.
Keep in mind that any inspection report is a "snapshot" of the day and time of the inspection. On any given day, a restaurant could have fewer or more violations than noted in the report. An inspection conducted on any given day may not be representative of the overall, long-term cleanliness of an establishment. Also, at the time of the inspection violations are recorded but are often corrected on-the-spot prior to the inspector leaving the establishment.
