Septic in Fort Edward

What's different about here.

Every Sewage Disposal Permit in Washington County goes through the Department of Code Enforcement on Burgoyne Avenue, right here in Fort Edward. We're in and out of that process constantly: the stamped plan from a licensed design professional, the $100 application, the two-to-four-week review, and the inspection before backfill. For a Fort Edward homeowner that means a contractor who already knows what the county is going to ask for.

Fort Edward is also on the county's eligibility list for the State Septic System Replacement Fund, which can reimburse up to 50% of an eligible replacement, capped at $10,000. The county decides who qualifies; we'll point you at the application and build the system that makes it worth applying for.

Fort Edward questions

Asked by Fort Edward homeowners.

What does the county need from me for a septic permit?+

A completed application with the $100 fee, two copies of plans sealed by a New York State licensed design professional, proof of the contractor's workers' comp and disability coverage, and — after the install — a stamped record drawing. We handle our end and coordinate the rest with your designer.

Can work start while the permit is in review?+

No. The county is clear that construction can't begin before the permit is issued, and any change to the approved plan has to be signed off by the designer and the county first. We schedule the dig for the day the permit lands.

Is a repair really permitted work?+

Repair or replacement of an existing disposal system is right on the county's application. Small component fixes are a different scale; we'll tell you which yours is.
