Indiana septic permit directory, county by county

Your septic permit comes from your county health department, and there are 92 of them. Every entry below is taken from the Indiana Department of Health's own directory of local health departments, read on 2026-08-20. The state writes one rule; what it costs, what the form asks for, and whether your installer needs a credential is decided at these 92 desks.

Why does the list not read as 92 tidy county names?

Because the state's directory does not either, and the differences are real. Fountain and Warren counties share one combined health department, listed as Fountain-Warren County. Several entries carry the department's own name rather than the bare county name. We publish the labels the state publishes rather than tidying them into a pattern that would send somebody to the wrong office.

What changes from one of these to the next?

  • The permit fee. Monroe County publishes $250 for a new septic permit, $150 for a repair and $100 for a renewal, and notes its fees change. Johnson County keeps its fees in an ordinance. Allen County has its own wastewater district with its own fees ordinance.
  • Whether an installer needs a credential, and which one. St. Joseph County requires an installer registered with the county. Clark County runs its own written exam and accepts the IOWPA exam in its place.
  • The forms. Morgan County splits its application by system type; Boone County mails a letter of requirements once your paperwork is on file.
  • Whether records are online. Morgan County publishes existing soil evaluations and permits; most counties hold them at the office.
