Septic Permits Issued in Cherokee County, North Carolina

August 13th, 2007 johnpoltrock Posted in Septic Permits |

Many of you know the amount of backlog we have had in our septic permit issues. Trust me buyers - they’re a good thing for you, especially if you aren’t planning on building right away. The Cherokee County Health Dept. has made a pain for most of us, but for the standard buyer, you can turn it to your advantage. Sellers- you need to apply for a permit as soon as you put your property on the market.

Either way, here are some interesting numbers I think you need to know to see what’s occuring:

	Total Applications Received	Improvement Permits Issued
January	171	113
February	190	109
March	109	171
April	210	91
May	265	129
June	49	140
Total Year	1,079	869

As a total, you can see where more permits are requested than issued. We’re still 6 months out, but you still have the alternative. Soil Scientists are a good alternative in the Murphy (Cherokee County) area. There’s been a state law applied where a permit can be issued by a soil scientist instead of just through the health dept. In fact, I just received a permit in about 2 weeks! Ask me how and I’ll be happy to tell you the process and who to talk to.
