About each permit

Septic (Subsurface Sewage Disposal) Permit (Panhandle Health District)

A business premises in Kootenai County that cannot connect to a public or municipal sewer needs a septic permit from Panhandle Health District, the public health district serving the county; it is a district permit, not a county government permit. The district's Septic Permits and Records page states: "Permits are required for all subsurface sewage disposal systems in Idaho" and "PHD issues septic permits for the five northern counties." It states that the permits list site-specific conditions for installation, that "Permit applications are valid for 1 year" and "Septic permits are valid one (1) year from date of issuance", and that no partial refund is made if fieldwork is done but a permit cannot be approved. The county's Building page directs questions about septic systems to Panhandle Health, and its Planning page gives the contact: Panhandle Health, 8500 N Atlas Road, Hayden, ID 83835, 208-415-5100.
