Who regulates this work in Georgia
Georgia does not hand out a septic contractor license the way it hands out a trade license. The state health department certifies the people who install and pump systems. The permit for the work itself comes from a county environmental health office rather than from the state.
- Authority
- Georgia Department of Public Health, Environmental Health Section
- Who issues a permit
- the county board of health, through its environmental health office
- Check a pumper
- The state publishes its approved septic tank pumper list and its certified installer list.
What to ask before you hire
- Is the company itself certified, or only the person on the truck.
- Which certifications the tech holds, and whether they cover the kind of system you have.
- Which county office pulls the permit. The permit follows the property, not the contractor.
The exact certifications, the exam and the fees differ by state and they change. Check the current rules with Georgia Department of Public Health, Environmental Health Section before you rely on any of it.
