How do I get a Certificate of Compliance for my septic system?

A Certificate of Compliance is issued by the Health Department after your engineer submits a certified as-built system plan and your contractor signs off on the Certificate. Any registry stamped deeds and contracts for maintenance plans will also need to be submitted to the Health Office. The Health Director will review all of this information and, if approved, will sign off on the Certificate. A Certificate of Compliance is valid for three years, provided the system has been pumped within the last year. Please note: Certificates can be for the whole system or for just one of the components of the system.
