Cost of Services

Sarasota County Health Department works to make sure its services are available to as many people as possible.  The cost of a service depends on your ability to pay.  Some services are always free; others require you to pay if you have an ability.  Your ability to pay is determined by the Eligibility office at SCHD (see below).

 

The best way to find out the cost of a particular service, once you know your eligibility status, is to contact that service department directly.  You can find contact information listed under each service's web page or on the Contact Us page.
