PERMIT PROCESS

STEP 1: Contact the Taylor County Health Department (850)-584-5087 to make an appointment with the permitting representative.

STEP 2: On the way to the Health Department come by the Building Department and request a compliance statement and property printout.  If the septic tank permit will be used for a single-family residence, addition, or commercial building, you should drop off your construction plans at the Building Department for the plan review.

STEP 3: Go to the Property Appraisers office, located on the 2nd floor of the Courthouse, and purchase an aerial map of the property.  This will be used to provide a site diagram for the Health Department.  The information on the compliance statement will show the Property Appraiser which map you need.

STEP 4: After the Health Department completes the site test, or existing tank inspection they will issue you an application number and give you a copy for the Building Department.  You can then obtain the Building Permit.

 Permit Fees:

New Septic Tank $335.00
Repair Permit $205.00
Existing tank (with site evaluation) $180.00
Existing tank (without site evaluation) $45.00
