Buying or Selling in Knox County

The Knox County Health Department offers a Verification/Septic Letter for real estate transactions ($200). Staff review the county's records for the property, and a Groundwater Environmentalist visits to check whether the system is working and whether there is enough area to repair it if it fails later (Knox County Health Department).
