Permits are required to install or repair on-site wastewater systems

WASTEWATER PERMITTING PROCESS:

  1. For new installations, have a soil morphology completed by a licensed soil evaluator. Licensed evaluators can be found here : Soil Evaluators
  2. Hire a licensed installer to design and install the system. Installers are required to be licensed by the State of Missouri*. Licensed installers can be found here: Licensed Installers
  3. Fill out an Applicant Contact Form and Onsite Wastewater Permit Application, pay licensing and inspection fee ($235.00). Contact Zoning for payment methods and process. Have installer complete and submit application for review.
  4. After a completed application and morphology are submitted to planning, it will be reviewed for proper design, a pre-inspection will take place to inspect the site. Review and inspections are done through the Health Department 816-539-2144.
