**Very Important**
Read the information below before clicking on the link.
Environmental Health Services began issuing Wastewater Treatment Permits on January 1, 1966. Records include all individual, shared, multi-user systems for which a county permit has been issued. Records also include information for all Public Wastewater Treatment Systems that we have some records on – this may be limited information from MDEQ or it may include a locally issued permit. A local permit has been required for Public Systems since July 1, 2001.

Hints for researching records:
1. |
Just because you do not find it by one does not mean the record is not there. Try all possible avenues. |
|
- Property Owner – Owner at the time the permit was issued.
|
|
- Road Address – If the address has been changed, records may be under the old address. Not all records have an address associated with them.
|
|
- Subdivision – This is typically the name on the release of sanitary restrictions.
|
|
- COS # (Certificate of Survey)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Search for additional permits for the property
|
2. |
Less information is best when searching.
- Search Doe (not John Doe) or sea rch 123 or Live (not 123 Live Here Street)
|
3. |
Review the entire document - there may be additional importmant information in the file i.e. variance ruling, commercial addendum, memo to the file, etc. |
4. |
Research information necessary to do a comprehensive search, which is available by other departments or agencies. |
|
- Clerk and Recorders Office – previous property owners; subdivision, COS #, lot; section, township, range. These records only go back to a certain date. For information prior to that date, you will need to go into the Clerk and Recorders office to research.
