Onsite Wastewater Treatment
Jackson County Environmental Health permits and regulates onsite wastewater treatment systems (also known as private sewage disposal systems) serving 4 homes or fewer or less than 15 people.

- Upload your soil analysis or perc test report to the application.
- Select a Jackson County Licensed Septic Installer. A list of installers is available in the application or below.

- Allow up to two weeks for your application to be processed.
