Clermont County Public Health must review and approve plans for construction changes to one, two, or three-family residences that involve addition of rooms which are (or could reasonably be) used as bedrooms. Review of plans is also required when the addition will involve expanded ground coverage. The purpose of this review process is to
- Ensure that the new construction will not interfere with proper functioning of the existing household sewage disposal system
- Make sure that any existing sewage system malfunction is remedied
- Evaluate if the sewage system is sized to accommodate any additional capacity requirement
Applicants must submit the following information along with a completed Accessory Structure Approval Application Form. The application cannot be initiated without all required information.
