Septic Permits

All new septic systems must be permitted through Environmental Control before construction.
We also keep records of and track maintenance contracts for every aerobic septic system. A maintenance contract is required by law to be kept for all on-site aerobic septic systems. After installation the system will be inspected and an installation certificate will be issued.

Development Permits

Development permits help us to know what is being built and where it is located. With this information, we can determine what flood zone the property is located in and insure that our floodways remain intact. We require that the first habitable floor be one (1) foot above base flood level before construction begins. You will need a development permit before you can get electricity to your site.

Health Inspections

We inspect food service establishments, day cares, schools, grocery stores, hospitals, mobile food units, temporary food events and nursing homes to insure compliance with state and local health laws and regulations. These establishments are inspected a minimum of one (1) time per year. All establishments receiving complaints are inspected as soon as possible.

Food Permits

Food permits are required for all establishments that sell or prepare food. They help us to track and organize an inspection plan for all food vendors.

Food Complaints

If you have had a bad experience with a particular establishment please contact us to fill out an official complaint so that we may follow up with that establishment.

Inspection scores are broadcast on Leger’s Restaurant Report Card on KDFM Channel 6.

Environmental Complaints

Contact us to report environmental complaints. These can be but are not limited to: high debris or trash accumulation, high weed violations, and damaged or improperly maintained septic systems.

When a complaint is received it is authenticated; then a violation notice is sent out. After a notice has expired and the nuisance has not been abated, charges are then filed by the inspectors in the proper Justice of the Peace court.
