No City Sewer? Your Hood County Septic System Needs a Permit

A house without public sewer may need an on-site sewage facility, or OSSF. Start with Hood County Environmental Health and give it the street address. Make sure the county is the permit office before paying for a design.

The job can include a site check, property map, design, permit form, and inspections. Before buying, ask for the permit and care records. Before building, use the county's current forms and provider lists rather than a seller's story about the tank. Keep the approved papers with the house records.
