Covers 4 of this county's 21 municipalities — the rest run their own program
Your township or borough
17 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:
Beaver Township · Beavertown Borough · Center Township · Chapman Township · Freeburg Borough · McClure Borough · Middleburg Borough · Middlecreek Township · Monroe Township · Penn Township · Perry Township · Selinsgrove Borough · Spring Township · Union Township · Washington Township · West Beaver Township · West Perry Township
Source: PA DEP’s municipal on-lot sewage service-area tabulation, which publishes the agency for each municipality and no contact details — so we print no phone number we cannot source.
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
Snyder County's subdivision ordinance sets lot size from the sewage test outward. Section 507 requires lots to be at least large enough to install the system properly and, with no public water or sewer, no smaller than one acre with 100 feet of width — and says more area may be required to fit an on-lot system to DEP's standards. Zoning exists in only six Snyder County municipalities, so for much of the county this ordinance is the lot-size rule.
Snyder County has no Exceptional Value waters, but 5 entries on DEP's Chapter 93 drainage lists are High Quality — including Kreb Gap Run, Ulsh Gap Run, Swift Run. 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 (54.5% of rated soils), followed by slow-percolating subsoil below 12 inches (34.1%). NRCS rates 91.3% of rated ground very limited for a conventional in-ground trench, 66.8% for a sand mound and 48.3% for drip irrigation -- where conventional is out, drip is often the system that works.
