Real-estate and condition inspections of the tank and drain field.
People in Clermont usually look for septic inspection because of not knowing the condition of a septic system before buying, selling or after a problem. Lake County's septic replacement program is limited to unincorporated areas inside a state basin plan, so homes inside Clermont's city limits are not currently eligible. Compare 12 septic companies serving Clermont and ask each one whether the tank will be pumped as part of the inspection and what the written report will cover.
Clermont's homes are a mix of ages (median build year 2006). If you're buying a home on septic, an inspection tells you the tank's size, location and condition before you commit.

Lake County's septic replacement program covers unincorporated areas inside a basin plan, not properties within city limits. A written report with the tank size, sludge level and drain field condition is the useful part for a buyer.

Florida law bars any government from requiring a septic inspection when a home is sold (s. 381.0065(4)(x)). Florida's septic rule does not list an inspection as a repair; if pumping or repairs are added, ask the permit office whether a permit is needed. For homes in Clermont, septic permits come from Florida Department of Health in Lake County, Environmental Public Health (352-253-6130). The health department issues septic permits throughout Lake County on behalf of Florida DEP.
