Septic permits in Laclede County, MO
The rules, the agency, and what happens before anyone can dig.
Requirements
Laclede County (Lebanon) permits onsite wastewater systems through the Laclede County Health Department, (417) 532-3477, which regulates systems falling under its jurisdiction to Missouri's state standards. Expect the standard Missouri sequence: soil evaluation or percolation test by a DHSS-listed evaluator, a construction permit before any work begins on residential lots under three acres, and installation by an installer registered with Missouri DHSS as Basic or Advanced. Systems exceeding 3,000 gallons per day fall to Missouri DNR instead. Confirm current fees directly with the health department.
