Shannon Bradburn, Manager of Fannin County Environmental Health, said the move is strategic.

“This will put us right across from the courthouse and in much closer proximity to the building and land development departments as well as the tax assessor's office, which will make it more convenient for the public to have access to our services and for us to have a better community presence,” said Bradburn. “It will also provide us with more needed space.”

  • Septic system permits, inspections, and approvals
  • Food service permits and inspections for restaurants and mobile food units
