What do I need to do to put in a new septic system?
You will need to apply for a permit through our office. In addition to the application, we will need a copy of a plat map or survey map which shows the property boundaries. The permit fee for a new system is $300, plus a $100 soil survey.
If you are just needing to repair your existing system, by adding a new septic tank or leach line, the alteration permit fee is $125.
I am selling my home, do I have to have my septic system inspected?
It is not required by our office that every septic system be inspected when a home is sold. However, it may be required by the buyer and/or the lending agency. In order for our office to inspect the system, an application needs to be completed along with a fee of $125.
