Properties that are not connected to a municipal sewer system may require approval for an onsite sewage or septic system. Responsibility can rest with a municipality, regional authority, health authority or provincial body.
Septic approval may affect whether a building project can proceed. Confirm site-evaluation requirements, design standards, setbacks, application documents and inspections with the authority responsible for the property.

Permit rules are location-specific. Use the province and territory directory to locate the authority responsible for your project area.
