About Florida Department of Health
Florida Department of Health (DOH) is Florida’s statewide public health agency, headquartered in Tallahassee, Florida. It is responsible for protecting and promoting the health of residents and visitors through disease prevention, health education, and regulatory oversight. Within DOH, the Environmental Health (EH) programs regulate facilities such as public swimming pools, spas, onsite sewage (septic) systems, limited-use drinking water systems, and various other establishments that can affect environmental public health. Many of these EH programs accept fees and renewals through an online payment portal.
On bank statements for homeowner associations, condominiums, community development districts, and similar entities in Florida, the descriptor often appears as “DOH‑EH DOH EH Onl” or a close variant, indicating an online payment to the Department of Health’s Environmental Health division, not a private company. These charges are commonly associated with permits, annual renewals, routine inspections (for example, community pool or spa permits), or other regulatory and testing fees required by state or county environmental health offices. The accompanying numbers usually correspond to internal invoice, permit, or site identifiers rather than phone numbers.

If you have questions about a DOH‑EH online charge, the best approach is to contact your property manager, HOA/condo board, or facilities manager first; they usually maintain copies of DOH permits and invoices. You can also reach out directly to your local county health department’s Environmental Health office (contact details are published on the Florida Department of Health website) and reference the date and amount of the charge and any permit or facility ID on recent correspondence. Keeping copies of pool or water system permits, emailed receipts from the DOH online portal, and recent inspection reports will greatly speed up resolving any billing questions or verifying that the charge is legitimate.
