Start with the records
Pima County septic records can identify approved capacity, layout and previous work. Check them against the current house and use.
Routine condition checks
An inspection can assess accessible covers, baffles, filters and tank condition. Buried or inaccessible parts may need more investigation.
Selling a septic property
Use a qualified inspector within six months before transfer. The seller must give the report and available system records to the buyer before closing.
Complete the county filings
Pima instructs sellers to submit the inspection report through its portal before transfer. The buyer then submits a Notice of Transfer within 15 calendar days after closing. Verify current procedures and fees.
Know the limits
A condition report is a snapshot. It is separate from county construction approval and does not guarantee future performance.
