When I built my rural compound in Osage County we just started building. Eventually someone from the county came to the job site and said we needed a building permit. He allowed the guys to keep working while I went to Pawhuska to get one. There the main thing they cared about was the $$ for the permit which I later figured out would also serve to notify the tax man that I had improvements and he needed to reassess. They also mentioned something about a perk test but I was using an aerobic mulching toilet and grey water was being filtered through the earth so that wasn't necessary. I personally would never invite in a government entity where they weren't asking to be.

My county doesnt have inspectors but yours may be different so should check your county, i have never had to deal with it but i know when dad had his new septic tank and lateral lines put in for his new house the state came and done a inspection for a perk test dont know if they came back to check the work or not. Also you could check with your ins company and see if they know of a inspector.


Septic does have CODE and require inspection.

General plumbing does not require an inspection. If you are wanting peace of mind, call a plumber and ask for a once over.

Propane company would be the one to inspect and approve propane lines.

Once you get out of incorporated city limits, life becomes much more simplified.
