Permits & Inspections
How a Septic Job Works in Jackson County
In unincorporated Jackson County, septic permits go through Jackson County Public Works. Cities handle their own. Here's how the county's requirements lay out a job:
Engineer's design
New systems in unincorporated Jackson County are designed by a Missouri registered professional engineer, with soil test results and the design criteria submitted for review. Repairs start with an engineer's evaluation of the problem.
County review and permit
The county reviews the design and has to approve it before construction starts.
Install
We build the system to the approved design.
Inspection before backfill
The county inspects and approves the installation before it's backfilled.
