Section 4.43 states that it is the responsibility of the seller to provide an
inspection of the septic system to the buyer at or before the closing. The
inspection must be done by a MN licensed inspector.
Exemptions:
The tract of land is without buildings or contains no dwellings or other buildings with
plumbing fixtures.
No Certificate of Real Estate Value needs to be filed with the County Auditor, per MN
Statutes, Chapter 272.115.
The sale or transfer completes a contract for deed entered into prior to the effective
date of the Ordinance. (Original vendor/vendee only)
Any dwellings or other buildings with running water are connected to a municipal
wastewater treatment system.
A valid Certificate of Compliance is on file in the Environmental Office. A Certificate
on a new system remains valid for 5 years while existing systems that are inspected and
pass remain valid for 3 years.
The system consists of a holding tank and a MN licensed pumper pumps the tank and
inspects it for cracks and leaks and signs a Certified Statement that the tank is
watertight. A copy of the invoice is filed with the Environmental Office just like a
Certificate of Compliance.
