HEY TELLER COUNTY! 👋🏼
With all these new regulations regarding septic, we thought this might be a good time to jump on here. 📢
This is thorough, so let's jump to the point...
BOTH our technicians are NAWT certified! AND we pump! 👍🏼 We personally like convenience, so we have always offered our clients a "one stop shop" service. Pump & Inspections in one visit.
📃SELLING YOUR HOME? Teller County now requires an OWTS/septic (Onsite Wastewater Treatment System) be pumped and inspected by a NAWT (National Association of Wastewater Technicians) certified inspector as part of the sale of the home. Upon the completion of the inspection, that report needs to be uploaded to the Teller County Environmental (by the homeowner or the Sellers Agent) portal. In addition to the cost of the pump & inspection, it is a $199 fee to Teller County for the "transfer of title". The report will be reviewed by Teller County Environmental and issued an Acceptance Letter. If Teller County notes repairs, they must be made prior to the Acceptance Letter being issued.
On a side note, if you have recently bought a home on a septic, you have 6️⃣0️⃣ days to apply for a Continued Use Permit with Teller County. This is a $75 fee.
🏡 Ordinance 23 - SHORT TERM RENTALS. Teller County's newly approved Ordinance 23 requires a Short Term Rental owner to have their septic inspected by a NAWT certified inspector within the last 365 days. While it does not currently specify if a pump is required or not, it might be time to do it. (Typically 3-5 years for a family occupied home, but sometimes guests don't realize the things they're putting into a septic. 🙄)
Regardless of your needs, we are here to help!
