Permits in Clay County

A new system or a repair needs a permit before anyone digs, and Kearney sits in Clay County. Who issues it, what it costs and which soil work comes first: Missouri septic permit guide.

Septic rules that apply in Kearney

  • Permits. A construction permit is required before installing a system or making a major modification or major repair, except on single-family residential lots of three acres or more (and certain lots of ten acres or more) where every part of the system is more than 10 feet from any adjoining property line and no effluent reaches a neighbor's property or pollutes water; some counties do not honor that exemption. Source.
  • Selling a home. Missouri law does not require a septic inspection or evaluation before a home is sold, but if a lender or buyer asks for one it must be done by a DHSS-licensed inspector or evaluator, and some counties require one on every sale. Source.
  • Aerobic systems. Missouri treats aerobic treatment units as basic systems that must meet NSF Standard 40, have at least 120 gallons per bedroom per day (minimum 500 gallons) of capacity, and discharge to a full-size soil absorption system. Source.
  • Tank size. A 3-bedroom house in Missouri needs a tank of at least 1,000 gallons. Sizes by bedrooms.
