Permit fees, forms & process

New installs and major repairs need a permit from the local health district, and the rules that bind are the local ones.

This county’s full guide is still in production — the authority contact shown here is the official source in the meantime.

Local rules

What’s different in Shelby 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 Ohio”.

Zoning & land use

The Sidney-Shelby County Health Department administers two local instruments beyond the state chapter, and publishes both under 'Rules' on its sewage page: Resolution 14-7, its supplement to Ohio Administrative Code Chapter 3701-29, and its sewer connection policy dated 14 June 2006. Both are posted as scanned documents with no readable text, so ask the department for a legible copy before assuming the state text is the whole rule.

Environmental protections

Great Miami river (Superior High Quality Water, Quincy dam (RM 143.4) to Pasco-Montra road (RM 134.8)); Great Miami river (Superior High Quality Water, Sidney water works dam (RM 130.2) to Loramie creek RM (119.9)). Ohio EPA's general permit for discharging household systems (OHK000004, Part II.C.2(e)) bars a new discharge to any of these, or to a tributary within one mile upstream. On those parcels the off-lot discharging route is closed and the system has to be a soil-absorption design, whatever the lot looks like.

Geology & soil

The dominant constraint here is water perching on a restrictive layer (46.0% of rated soils), followed by a water table close to the surface (30.9%).
