Environmental
Health For Sale of Property
The For
Sale of Property Regulation is a portion of the Geauga County Household
Sewage Disposal System Regulations. It is a part of, not a part from.
We have separated it here for ease of access only. For an full
understanding and awareness of the Household Sewage System Regulations,
please refer to those sections also available on this website.
The For
Sale
of Property Regulations protect home purchasers and the community
from failures in private sewage systems. The regulation requires home
sellers
that have existing household sewage systems have the system inspected
by
a Geauga County Health District Registered Sanitarian during the
selling
process to insure proper operation of the system. This applies to
private
sewage systems. It does not apply households that are connected to a
sanitary
sewer system that convey sewage to a central wastewater treatment
plant.
You can
review the For
Sale
of Property Regulations and
the property
checklist. The Application and Waiver Form
must be signed by the
homeowner and submitted with payment to the
Geauga County Health District. Some frequently asked questions are
answered here. Prior the the inspection some of the
components of the existing septic system need to be uncovered. Here
is a diagram to assist in uncovering components of the septic tank.
Fees
Services
rendered by the Geauga County Health District
