Up here you can’t build a house or cottage till the septic system is built and passed inspection.
Strange, in this part of the province you’re not allowed to build a septic system until they see what size house you’ve already built. They want to be sure it’s of adequate size.
You do have dig a test pit and do a percolation test before you get a building permit, just to prove the property will support a septic system.
Thats why you fill out the application with the number of bedrooms and a picture of the house placement on the lot. Doesn't matter how big the house is, it matters how many people are using it, hence number of bedrooms not bathrooms or sq ft. Not much good if you build the house on the only part of the lot that purks.
