  1. Include a site plan with your application

You also need to submit a site plan (DEP4015 Page 2) . In addition, you will need to submit a Zoning and Floor Plain form, a floor plan of the interior of your home, and document proving your ownership of the home.

  1. Pay the application fee

A site evaluation is a prerequisite for a septic tank permit. The local health department staff can do this for a small fee, which will be rolled into your application fee. If you want, you can also hire a third-party for this purpose. Keep in mind that only an approved person can perform the site evaluation. The approved list includes someone who is a Florida-licensed engineer, a licensed septic tank contractor, a Florida-licensed soil scientist, or a certified person.
