Sacramento County sets the septic rules

The city doesn't issue septic permits or set the sale-inspection and installer rules, because the county health department handles all three. Sacramento County's FY 2026-27 schedule lists $1,729 to install a standard septic system..

Who permits septic systems: Sacramento County Environmental Management Department (EMD), Liquid Waste Program; serves the seven cities and the unincorporated areas of the county.
Inspection at sale: No rule found in the county's published code
Permit steps: EMD oversees design, construction and installation of onsite systems; the system type depends on parcel location. Pumping or de-rooting lines needs no permit (FAQ).
