Septic System Search
The links below provide an interface to all subdivision and septic system records in Central District Health (CDH) databases. CDH strives to maintain complete and accurate records, but we cannot guarantee that all historic records in our databases are error free. Please consider this in your use of records obtained here.
Note: The records compiled date back to 1971, but not all properties will appear in the database. Some older records specifically from Ada County could not be configured to fit into the system. Therefore, a search for some records of permits issued prior to the year 2000 may result in a “No Match” finding because images of those documents do not exist in the new database.
- An alternate search for old records is provided (CDP Search) and some of those records may exist there: CDP – Search the Database for OLD Lots/Files/Parcels
- When searching for older permits we recommend searching by the legal description of the property, for example; Lot, Block, and Subdivision as physical addresses were not always provided or entered.
