What the published fee includes.
$250 for soil test and improvement only, or $650 for the listed full new residential septic-system permitting package.
What it does not establish.
System installation and any private surveying, clearing, or engineering not included by the county.
Do not add blindly: The lower and upper amounts are different services, not a quote range for identical work.
Next steps.
- Choose soil-evaluation-only versus the full residential permit path before paying.
- Mark property lines and the proposed building location as the county instructs.
- Do not compare the $250 and $650 amounts as if they cover the same scope.
