Septic Regulations & Permitting in Denton County
Like all Texas counties, septic systems (On-Site Sewage Facilities, or OSSFs) in Denton County are regulated under the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality's statewide rules (30 TAC Chapter 285), with permitting and inspections administered locally through the county's designated authority.

New installations and most replacements require a permit before work begins, including a site and soil evaluation.
Inspections
Systems must pass inspection before the tank and drain field are covered, and again at final completion.
Aerobic Maintenance Contracts
Aerobic treatment units require a maintenance contract, particularly during the first two years after installation.
Setbacks & Site Rules
