Operation Permit fees are applied to the property on which the septic system is installed. Fees stay with the property regardless of property sales or transfers.
Operation Permit fee invoices are mailed to the property owner one to three business days after the inspection. The property owner has 30 days to pay the amount in full.
After 60 days, late fees may be applied to the property.
After 90 days, outstanding fees may be placed as a tax lien on the property, and additional late fees may apply. Tax liens must be disputed in writing within 30 days of receipt of notice of lien.
Written objections must be mailed to:
Clermont County Health Commissioner
C/O Robert Wildey
Clermont County Public Health
2275 Bauer Rd. Suite 300
Batavia, OH 45103
Payments will be accepted by Clermont County Public Health at any point in the collection process; however, once the lien has been placed with the Clermont County Auditor, fees must be paid directly to the Clermont County Treasurer’s Office.
