Georgia septic records lookup

Find Your Septic Tank Size in Georgia

If you do not know whether your home has a 1,000 gallon, 1,500 gallon, or other septic tank, the best first step is usually the county septic record. Georgia septic records may show the original permit, inspection result, repair history, tank capacity, and system layout.

Where Georgia septic tank records usually come from

Georgia public health guidance points homeowners to their local County Environmental Health Office for record requests and local septic questions. The state office provides program guidance, but local county offices are the practical starting point for property-level records.

Septic records FAQ

Can county records show my septic tank size?

Often, but not always. Septic permits, inspection records, repair records, or as-built diagrams may include tank capacity, drain field details, and system layout. Older properties may have incomplete records.

Who keeps septic records in Georgia?

Georgia DPH directs local record requests and local septic questions to the County Environmental Health Office, not the state office.

What information helps with a records request?

The property address is the minimum. A parcel number, owner name, subdivision, approximate permit year, or prior inspection paperwork can make the request easier.
