Outside the sewered parts of Graham and Frederickson, homes generally rely on septic. The same Pierce County rules apply: routine inspections about every 3 years for simple systems (yearly for complex ones), and a Report of System Status with all tanks pumped before a sale closes.
On larger lots, the price depends a lot on access: how far the truck must reach, how deep the lids are buried, and whether there's more than one tank. Mention any outbuildings, a shop with its own plumbing, or an ADU, since each septic system on a parcel needs its own RSS application.
If you're planning a shop, ADU or addition, the Health Department's code requires a current evaluation of the existing system with the application, so it can make sense to time it with a routine inspection.
- Each septic system needs its own RSS application; a second one filed at the same time is $240: TPCHD fee schedule.
See the full septic inspection guide for costs, steps and the hiring checklist.
