48 municipalities run their own Act 537 program here
Under Act 537 a municipality may administer on-lot permits itself, through its own certified Sewage Enforcement Officer. These do — so the application, the fee and the inspection come from your own township or borough office rather than a county department:
Alexandria Borough · Barree Township · Birmingham Borough · Brady Township · Broad Top City Borough · Carbon Township · Cass Township · Cassville Borough · Clay Township · Coalmont Borough · Cromwell Township · Dublin Township · Dudley Borough · Franklin Township · Henderson Township · Hopewell Township · Huntingdon Borough · Jackson Township · Juniata Township · Lincoln Township · Logan Township · Mapleton Borough · Marklesburg Borough · Mill Creek Borough · Miller Township · Morris Township · Mount Union Borough · Oneida Township · Orbisonia Borough · Penn Township · Petersburg Borough · Porter Township · Rockhill Borough · Saltillo Borough · Shade Gap Borough · Shirley Township · Shirleysburg Borough · Smithfield Township · Springfield Township · Spruce Creek Township · Tell Township · Three Springs Borough · Todd Township · Union Township · Walker Township · Warriors Mark Township · West Township · Wood Township

Permit fees, forms & process
New installs and major repairs need a permit from the municipality or joint local agency under Act 537, 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.
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 Pennsylvania”.
Zoning & land use
Huntingdon County's planning commission states that its subdivision comments are advisory only and that only the municipality may approve or reject a subdivision; its own guide says municipal subdivision standards apply only where a municipality has adopted an ordinance, and nothing fills the gap at county level. The county's 2024 land-use chart lists roughly 14 municipalities with no subdivision ordinance at all. DEP lists all 48 municipalities as running their own sewage program.
Huntingdon County has no Exceptional Value waters, but 16 entries on DEP's Chapter 93 drainage lists are High Quality — including Fox Run, Little Juniata River, Spruce Creek. A lot draining to one loses the § 71.51(b) planning exemption, so the sewage module goes to the municipality and then to DEP. That is a second reviewer, not a different septic system. Check your own stream before assuming the ordinary path.
The dominant constraint here is bedrock within 60 inches of the surface (55.5% of rated soils), followed by slope (43.9%). NRCS rates 90.8% of rated ground very limited for a conventional in-ground trench, 75.8% for a sand mound and 50.5% for drip irrigation -- where conventional is out, drip is often the system that works.
