For a site using an onsite sewage treatment and disposal system, contact Florida Department of Health in Sarasota County about permit, repair and inspection requirements. Ask the local utility whether public sewer serves the property and check septic records with the health office. A building permit or zoning answer does not establish septic approval or utility availability.
