New septic system installation in Knoxville, TN. How Knox County SSDS permits, soil maps and site plans work.
New systems for new builds and replacements, permitted through the local authority. Knoxville Septic Service connects Knoxville-area homeowners with local septic providers.
Permit Before You Build
In Knox County, a subsurface sewage disposal system permit is required before Knox County Codes Enforcement will issue a building permit for a new home (Knox County Health Department FAQs). The county's SSDS installation permit (drain field layout) costs $200 and asks for details like lot size, number of bedrooms, basement plumbing, water source, a site plan and soil maps from a licensed soil consultant (Knox County Health Department).
Outside Knox County
In counties where TDEC issues permits, a TDEC Environmental Scientist does a site evaluation, may ask for a soils map, and inspects the installation before issuing a Certificate of Completion. TDEC says processing can take up to 45 days from a complete application (TDEC SSDS FAQs).
Permitted Installers
Knox County requires an annual permit for septic tank installers (Knox County Health Department). Your provider handles the installation under the permit's conditions.
