Septic Inspection in St. Petersburg: local notes

Pinellas County is paying to connect selected septic properties to sewer through a Tampa Bay Estuary Program project. Ask whether the inspection includes pumping the tank and checking the drain field, not just the lids.

Permits for septic inspection in St. Petersburg

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. Florida law bars any government from requiring an inspection when a home is sold (s. 381.0065(4)(x)). For homes in St. Petersburg, septic permits come from Florida Department of Health in Pinellas County, Environmental Health (727-538-7277). The health department issues septic permits throughout Pinellas County on behalf of Florida DEP.

Sources: Florida Statutes s. 381.0065: Onsite sewage treatment and disposal systems; Rule 62-6.002, F.A.C. (Definitions). Local rules can differ, so ask the permit office.
