Gather the parcel records
Keep available permits, plans and existing system information with the request. Identify whether this is new construction, replacement or a change associated with another property project.
Resolve design and approvals
Ask who conducts the site evaluation, prepares the proposed system and handles applications and inspections. Use the current Florida DEP route; this page does not size or approve a septic system.
Compare the whole site scope
Record demolition or abandonment, excavation, access, restoration and completion documentation. Keep excluded landscaping or paving explicit rather than assuming the installed-system price restores every surface.
| Scope item | Confirm before agreeing |
|---|---|
| Evaluation | Site work, design and application responsibilities. |
