There currently is no charge for the majority of STD testing. The exam is free and even most of the common medicines are free if an STD is diagnosed.

SDHD does not bill third parties for adult vaccine services. Payment is required on the date of service. Work with your insurance company to determine where best to receive services to maximize your benefits.

It depends on the age of the child and what vaccines your child has already received. You should bring a copy of your child’s immunization record to the immunization clinic so that staff can determine what vaccines are needed. It is important to keep a copy of all vaccines/shots that your child has received.

Non-profit organizations are exempt from licensing if they sell food only one day per week, not on two consecutive days, from their own premises.

There are two additional exemptions for non-profit organizations:

• Twice per calendar year—may serve to the public up to three consecutive days from their own premises
• Twice per year, the non-profit can use the premises of another non-profit organization to serve food for one day (Property owned by a city, county, or state entity such as streets and most parks are not considered non-profit premises)

• Commercially prepared prepackaged foods and beverages that do not require temperature control for safety such as bottled soda, packaged candy, packaged chips, wrapped granola bars, etc…
• Whole, uncut fruits and vegetables

A temporary food stand is a food establishment that operates in one location for a period of no more than 14 consecutive days in conjunction with a single event or celebration. An “event or celebration” is a significant occurrence; such as a fair, carnival, or festival; sponsored by a civic, business, educational, government, community, or veteran’s organization. As an example, an event does not include a single store's grand opening or sale.

In Iowa, an Event license is required to sponsor an event that will have temporary food stands. Applications shall be submitted at least 60 days in advance of the event. An “Event” for purposes of this application does not include a function with 10 or fewer temporary food establishments, a Fair as defined in Iowa Code section 174.1, or a Farmers Market. The link to the application for this license is below.

This is a $200 license that can be renewed annually.

Siouxland District Health Department is an excellent resource for rabies questions and concerns, but we do not test for rabies.

SDHD can also facilitate the submission of animals to the appropriate laboratory when testing is necessary.

Yes, we sell radon kits for $7 and instructions are available. You can purchase them at the front desk.

Employment opportunities and information on how to apply are found under our About Us page.  

It is recommended that well water is tested once a year. The spring, when the weather is warming up and the snow is melting, is the best time to have your water tested because problems with your well will be more likely to be detected at this time.

It is not recommended that people have mold tested. Every person reacts to mold a little differently and there is no standard that determines how much mold is too much. It is also not usually necessary to know what type of mold that you have. The cleaning of mold does not depend on the type of mold present.

We accept cash, check, debit and credit cards. A convenience fee is charged for use of a debit or credit card.
