Septic Tanks
Permits are issued and inspections are made according to
the standards set by Florida Statute 381.0065 and Chapter 64E-6, Florida Administrative Code 
(530kb PDF). The
septic tank program is staffed by state certified environmental specialists. Staff
maintains their certification by taking ongoing education courses, not only as a refresher,
but to keep abreast of the rapid changes int he field such as alternative systems, drain field
aggregate, aerobic systems and new products. All septic tank staff perform inspections, site visits and
complaint response on a daily basis.
Septic tank and well permit application packets have been redesigned to simplify the process for the convenience of clients. The program was one of only a few counties in Florida to receive an "Excellent" rating for the third consecutive review cycle.
