Permits for Connection to County Sewer

County Sewer Connection for a New Structure

• To apply for a permit to connect a new structure to a county sewer system, a Permits and Inspections staff member must ascertain that the connection fees were paid on the building or grading permit. If the fees were paid on the permit, the plumbing permit can be issued. If the connection fees were not paid on the permit, the plumbing permit will not be issued. The Department of Public Works will be notified of the situation, and they will determine the connection fee due. Once the connection fee is paid, the plumbing permit can be issued.
