Home Sale Inspection Program -- Are you buying or selling and existing home? This program is offered to help assist persons involved in the sale or purchase of a home that has its own sewage treatment system. Homes served by municipal sewers are not included in this program. It is often necessary when securing a loan to have the sewage system and/or the water system (well, cistern, etc.) inspected by the local health authority. This form can be completed and mailed to this Agency, along with the fee, to help expedite the process.
