Situations exempt from the septic pump-out requirement include any inactive or abandoned
on-site septic system.
To qualify for exemption, property owners must provide the county with appropriate,
written verification. This could include a statement or other evidence acceptable
to the county. The statement or evidence must show the old septic system has been
pumped out and destroyed, either with the tank being crushed in and backfilled in
place or the tank filled with clean sand. There is no permit required to abandon a
septic tank system. (5-15-08.)
