Accessing Environmental Health Records
Environmental Health records may be accessed by any member of the public by filing a "FOIL Request Form" with the Cattaraugus County Clerk's Office.
Please note that records concerning private property may be provided to the owner (or their designated representative) on request without filing this form.
