Livingston County Environmental Health handles well and septic records, permits and services. The official Environmental Health page includes online permit applications, water wells, septic services, food safety, records search and complaint routes.
For septic permits, the county explains that an approved soil evaluation is needed before applying. For new building construction, additional land use, soil erosion, driveway and building-permit steps may be required.
