The Toledo-Lucas County Health Department closes its Erie St. building November 9 through 13 before reopening at a new location.
Updated on Nov. 8, 2026 in Openings & Closings
The Toledo-Lucas County Health Department will close its Erie St. building from November 9 through 13 while it relocates. The new building at 1933 Spielbusch Ave. opens November 16 to resume normal operations.
Why it matters
The move consolidates health department operations into a more centralized layout, which the department says improves access for residents of Toledo and Lucas County. Residents needing services during the closure should plan around limited Vital Statistics hours.
The Erie St. building closes for five days, from November 9 through 13, with Vital Statistics open only on November 9, 10, and 12 from 8:00 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. The extraction does not provide a comparator figure for visitor volume or service demand during the closure.
