What the published fee includes.

$340 when the applicant digs or $590 when the Sewage Enforcement Officer digs.

What it does not establish.

Additional testing, design, permits, and septic-system construction.

Do not add blindly: The two prices differ because digging responsibility changes; they are not competing quotes.

Next steps.

  1. Confirm whether the applicant or Sewage Enforcement Officer will dig the holes.
  2. Ask what site marking, water, access, and restoration the applicant must provide.
  3. Keep later planning-module and permit fees separate.
