A Use Permit is required at point of sale and/or major remodel of all properties which utilize an onsite wastewater treatment system. An inspection shall be conducted of the system and a Use Permit shall be issued based on the inspection results. In cases of malfunction, repairs will be required prior to issuing the Use Permit.
This law is a beneficial tool to the Environmental Health Department in detecting malfunctioning onsite wastewater treatment systems. It also benefits both the buyer and seller involved in a property transaction. The buyer benefits by knowing that the system has been inspected and necessary corrections have been made. The seller benefits by having the condition of the system documented for prospective buyers.
