Obtaining a Septic System Permit
If you plan to build or renovate, and do not have access to the Municipal sewage system, you first need to obtain a Septic System Permit from the Sudbury and District Health Unit. It is the responsibility of the owner/contractor to either design a sewage system for new construction or assess an existing sewage system prior to renovating an existing house or cottage.
Applications for a permit can be obtained from the Municipal Office or from:
The Sudbury and District Health Unit
1300 Paris Street
Sudbury, ON P3E 3A3
Tel: (705) 522-9200 Ext. 398
Please be advised that applications take time to process, especially in the spring. Allow sufficient time to obtain this permit prior to your proposed construction date.
