Where Georgia septic tank records usually come from

Georgia public health guidance points homeowners to their local County Environmental Health Office for record requests and local septic questions. The state office provides program guidance, but local county offices are the practical starting point for property-level records.

Why tank size matters before a pumpout

Some providers price a 1,500 gallon tank differently from a 1,000 gallon tank. If the county record shows the installed capacity, you have a better starting point before comparing quotes or asking a provider to inspect the system.

How to request the record yourself

  1. Find the county where the property is located.
  2. Call or email the County Environmental Health Office.
  3. Ask for available onsite sewage, septic permit, inspection, repair, or as-built records.
  4. Provide the property address, parcel number if known, and owner name if requested.
  5. Check whether the record shows tank capacity before you approve a pumping estimate.

Septic records FAQ

Can county records show my septic tank size?

Often, but not always. Septic permits, inspection records, repair records, or as-built diagrams may include tank capacity, drain field details, and system layout. Older properties may have incomplete records.

Who keeps septic records in Georgia?

Georgia DPH directs local record requests and local septic questions to the County Environmental Health Office, not the state office.

What information helps with a records request?

The property address is the minimum. A parcel number, owner name, subdivision, approximate permit year, or prior inspection paperwork can make the request easier.
