The Health District’s Campground and Manufactured Home Park programs prevent disease, safety hazards, and unsanitary conditions within these facilities.
Manufactured Home Parks
The Manufactured Home Park program ensures a safe and sanitary environment through compliance inspections, plan review and education. This state mandated program is conducted under Section 3733 of the Ohio Revised Code and Section 3701-27 of the Ohio Administrative Code.
This office does not perform the installation inspections of new or replacement homes within Manufactured Home Parks as required by Section 4781 of the Ohio Revised Code. Mobile Home Park Operators must contact the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) regarding submission of plans and a list of third party inspectors recognized by ODH.
The Champaign Health District currently has 11 licensed manufactured home parks under its jurisdiction.
Manufactured home park operators are required to obtain an annual license to operate a Manufactured Home Park. The license is valid from January 1st through December 31st of each year. The license fee is determined by the number of lots that can be occupied at the park.
Manufactured home park operators are required to notify the Champaign Health District when new homes, additions to homes, and auxiliary buildings are added within the park. Notifications are to be made at least two days prior to the changes occurring. Operators should complete a Manufactured Home Replacement Report Form and forward it to the health district.
Plan approval is required for all new manufactured home parks and for the addition of new lots to existing parks. Plans are to be submitted in triplicate to the Ohio Department of Health Engineering Unit for approval.
Parks & Campgrounds
The Champaign Health District also conducts a Park/Campground Program which is state mandated under Ohio Revised Code Section 3733. The rules for this program are prescribed under Ohio Administrative Code Chapter 3701-26.
Inspections of these locations are conducted at least once per year and are typically concerned with sanitary facilities, water protection, solid waste disposal, lot size, spacing, fire protection, safety, and nuisance abatement. Licenses for these locations are valid until May 1st of each year. The license fee is determined by the number of sites in the park.
Swimming Pools & Spas
The Champaign Health District conducts a swimming pool program under the authority of Section 3749 of the Ohio Revised Code and 3701-31 of the Ohio Administrative Code.
The Champaign Health District licenses and inspects several pools and spas annually. The license applications for all previously licensed pools and spas are sent out during the first week of April.
The swimming pool program assures the safety and health of swimmers. The Champaign Health District’s Sanitarians inspect the water quality, maintenance of filtration and circulation equipment, the presence of necessary safety equipment and warning signs, life guarding requirements, record-keeping, and overall facility operation.
