Permits

Who issues them here.

Permit fees, forms & process

Any new system or major repair in St. Francois County needs a permit before construction starts. This county’s full guide is still in production — the authority contact is the official source in the meantime.

All Missouri permit guides

Local rules

What’s different in St. Francois County.

Four things decide what you can build and what it costs: zoning, environmental protections, power for aerobic systems, and the ground itself. We publish each one only where we have checked it — and say so plainly where the answer is “same as the rest of Missouri”.

Zoning & land use

Missouri's onsite construction standard is statewide in 19 CSR 20-3.060, but the permit does not come from the state in St. Francois County. St Francois County Health Center administers onsite wastewater permitting here under a local ordinance, which RSMo 701.047 lets a county make more restrictive than the state minimum. Ask that office first: on a single-family lot of three acres or more, RSMo 701.031's state permit exemption does not override a local ordinance.

Source: Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, OWTS Construction Permit Process - the department's own per-county permitting-authority list, giving the agency, authority type (DHSS Onsite Program, Local Authority by contract, or Local Authority via ordinance), address and phone for each Missouri jurisdiction ↗ · retrieved Sep 1, 2026

Also: Missouri Revised Statutes section 701.040(1) - city or county governments may adopt the state standard by order or ordinance, and where none has, the department of health and senior services enforces it - read with section 701.047, which permits a city or county to adopt standards more restrictive than the state's ↗ · retrieved Sep 1, 2026

Environmental protections

Nothing in St. Francois County changes this. Missouri’s protected-water designations do not change what a household septic system may do. Outstanding National and State Resource Waters, the metropolitan no-discharge streams, the losing streams and Lake Taneycomo are all defined in the Clean Water Commission’s water quality standards (10 CSR 20-7.031), and every one of them attaches to a permitted discharge or a department approval — which an absorption field serving a single home under 3,000 gallons a day is not. The rule that does bind is statewide and keyed to a physical feature rather than to a water body: an absorption field sits at least 100 feet, and a sewage tank at least 50 feet, from the topographic drainage of a sinkhole (19 CSR 20-3.060). Where that matters in a given county is in its geology notes, because that is where the sinkhole measurement is.

How Missouri permitting works

Checked against Missouri Clean Water Commission, 10 CSR 20-7.031 Water Quality Standards, sections (8) Outstanding National Resource Waters, (9) Outstanding State Resources Waters, (10) Lake Taneycomo and (13) Losing Streams, with Tables D, E and F, as published by the Missouri Secretary of State (Code of State Regulations, 9/30/23) ↗ · retrieved Sep 1, 2026

Also: Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, 19 CSR 20-3.060 Minimum Construction Standards for On-Site Sewage Disposal Systems, definition 54 (setbacks of 100 feet for a disposal field and 50 feet for a sewage tank from the topographic drainage of a sinkhole) and definition 55 (sinkhole) ↗ · retrieved Sep 1, 2026

Geology & soil

Subsoil that percolates too slowly is the governing constraint in St. Francois County, on 66.6% of the soils Missouri's own NRCS septic suitability rule rates, with a seasonal high water table next at 40.3%. The rule puts 66.0% of the county in its unsuitable class for a conventional absorption field. The Missouri Geological Survey maps 133 sinkholes here, and 59.9% of the rated soils weathered in place from limestone or dolomite. Effluent reaching solution-widened rock gets little filtering, and 19 CSR 20-3.060 keeps an absorption field 100 feet, and a sewage tank 50 feet, from the topographic drainage of a sinkhole.
