City of Detroit Business License Environmental Health Clearance
For most businesses that require an Environmental Health Clearance in order to complete their city of Detroit Business license application, this will require paying an annual fee to the Detroit Health Department and passing an inspection (or correcting violations cited during the inspection)
Some businesses will require a state of Michigan license as well, including Child Care, Body Art, swimming pools, and foodservice establishments. For those see the appropriate web pages.
For all other businesses, you can pay the annual fee at: https://cod.divdatkiosknetwork.com/EnvironmentalHealth or call (313) 876-4715 to pay the fee and schedule the inspection (note: some inspections may be unannounced)
