Septic permits in Camden County, MO
The rules, the agency, and what happens before anyone can dig.
Requirements
Camden County (Camdenton, Lake Ozark, Sunrise Beach) permits through the Camden County Wastewater Department at 1 Court Circle, Camdenton, 573-317-3810. The sequence matters here: a soil morphology test must be completed before the system is designed, then the application, design, and $150 permit fee go to the Wastewater Department for review against both state and county minimums. Permits are required for new construction, full replacement of tank and laterals, and repairs. Lake of the Ozarks setback: no septic tank, aerator unit, lagoon, or lateral field may be installed within 15 feet of the lake, measured from the 660-foot contour, the rule that most often forces a redesign on waterfront lots.
