This could take up to twenty working days to complete. You cannot get a permit from us until we have a copy of your permit from them or a copy of the approval for the existing system. Call 706-453-7561.  A final inspection of the septic system is required from the Health Department before electricity can be approved for the home.
2. A copy of the plat of the property, indicating the setbacks and any existing structure(s). You may get this information at the Clerk of Superior Court Office. The fee is for the copy only. You will also need a Tax ID Number. This information is available at the Tax Assessor’s office.
