B100a Compliance

This section requires that a public health code-compliant septic area be located and reserved on any property where building conversions, changes in use, additions, or pools, decks and sheds are being proposed. The property owner should hire either a professional engineer or licensed septic installer to conduct soil testing on the property. After soil characteristics are determined, the engineer or installer must draw a proposal for a reserve septic system and submit it to this department. Once the proposal is approved by the Sanitarian, building plans for any conversion, change in use, additions, or pools, decks and sheds may move forward.
