Septic Smarts: Navigating Health Department Rules in Real Estate Sales

Description

** This is a hybrid class. You may attend in-person or online/zoom**

Understanding Septic System Requirements is essential for smooth closings.

In Pierce County, the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department (TPCHD) requires a Report of System Status (RSS) whenever a property with a septic system is bought or sold.

This class, designed specifically for real estate professionals, will give you the tools to confidently navigate septic system regulations and the RSS process. You'll learn how to spot potential issues early, streamline communication with clients and inspectors, and avoid last-minute surprises that could delay or derail a sale.

TPCHD staff will also answer your questions and gather your feedback on ways to improve the process—because great service should go both ways.

Whether you're new to septic or just need a refresher, this session will help you keep things flowing—from offer to close.
