Every New Build in the Hill Country Requires an OSSF Permit

Texas law requires an On-Site Sewage Facility (OSSF) permit for every new septic system — no exceptions. In Kerr, Gillespie, Kendall, Bandera, Kimble, Real, and Edwards counties, permits are issued through the county as an authorized agent of TCEQ. The rocky limestone soil common throughout the Hill Country means most properties require an Aerobic Treatment Unit (ATU) rather than a conventional system. We handle the site evaluation, permit application, installation, and final inspection — all under one roof.

Septic System FAQs

Answers to the questions we hear most from Hill Country homeowners and builders.

Do I need an OSSF permit in Kerr County?

Yes — every new septic system in Texas requires an On-Site Sewage Facility (OSSF) permit through the county, authorized by TCEQ. This applies to new construction, replacement systems, and significant repairs. We handle the entire permit process for you, including the site evaluation, soil testing, and county submission.

What type of septic system do I need in the Texas Hill Country?

Most Hill Country properties require an Aerobic Treatment Unit (ATU) due to the rocky limestone soil that makes conventional trench-and-gravel systems impractical. ATUs treat wastewater to a higher standard and are required on lots where soil absorption is limited. We assess your specific lot and recommend the right system for your site conditions and county requirements.

How long does a septic installation take in Kerr County?

From permit application to final inspection, most installations take 4–8 weeks. The permit process typically takes 2–4 weeks, followed by 1–2 weeks for installation and inspection scheduling. We work to expedite every step and keep you informed throughout the process.

How much does a septic system cost in the Texas Hill Country?

Conventional systems typically range from $8,000–$15,000. Aerobic Treatment Units range from $12,000–$20,000 depending on lot size, soil conditions, and system capacity. Permit fees, site evaluation, and county inspection fees are additional. We provide free, detailed estimates with no obligation.

How often should I pump my septic tank?

Most residential tanks should be pumped every 3–5 years depending on household size and usage. Aerobic systems require annual maintenance contracts in Texas. Regular pumping prevents costly drainfield failures and keeps your system compliant with TCEQ regulations.

My septic alarm is going off — what should I do?

An alarm typically means the water level in your tank is too high, often caused by a pump failure or heavy water usage. Reduce water use immediately and call us — most alarm situations can be diagnosed and resolved within 24–48 hours to prevent backup into your home.
