These sewage disposal system permits are NOT a right of ownership. Never assume that ANY undeveloped lot will automatically qualify for installation of a sewage disposal system. Anyone buying an undeveloped lot as a future home site is responsible for finding out if that lot will qualify for a sewage disposal permit. Keep in mind that just because neighbouring lots may have existing sewage systems, that fact does NOT guarantee that a new permit will be granted for YOUR lot.
Standards are much stricter now than they used to be.
The only way to find out if you can get a proper permit for your planned sewage system is to go through your local health authority. Only the property owner can apply for an on-site sewage disposal system permit for that property. You can get an application form from the environmental health office of your local health authority. The EHO can give you guidance on how to complete the application form. Generally, your fee will cover the initial lot inspection and final inspection.
