You are absolutely CORRECT!!!
My Dad has NEVER pumped his tank. Bought home new in 1968 and has used Roebic K37 septic treatment every year. ALL his neighbors have had theirs pumped many times or system completely replaced.

Those laws are meant for rentals because the renters won't take care of maintaining the system as a homeowner will.
As a homeowner the poop stops going down hill I get the problem fixed.
