Subject:                                     VA Septic Inspection - Tip of the day

 

Is a septic system inspection required on properties with an individual sewer system?

VA has eliminated the mandatory individual septic system inspection requirement for all properties and replaced it with the requirement that an inspection is mandatory only for all properties appraised as "proposed or under" construction, and in "new" and "existing" construction cases in which there is an indication of a problem of the property is in an area known to have soil percolation problems.

This requirement can be found in the VA Lender's Handbook (VA Pamphlet 26-7) in Section 13.06, page 13-14.
