Welcome to the new Jackson County website!

Registered Onsite Wastewater Installers

Jackson County requires that anyone installing a septic system in the County be licensed through our Department.

Anyone applying for the license must be familiar with IAC Chapter 69 and Jackson County Ordinance #250 and pass the installers exam with a minimum passing score of 80%. The exam fee is $500. After passing the exam, the application for the license may be applied for with a fee of $150 for the first year, and $50 each year after as long as renewed each year. Licenses are good for one year and run from March 1st through the end of February the following year.

Registered onsite wastewater installers are required to attend training as deemed necessary by the Board of Health or County Sanitarian.

Contact our department to schedule an appointment for the exam.
