Front Range Septic Pros is a free matching service, not a septic contractor. We connect Boulder, Jefferson, and Larimer County homeowners with independent local septic contractors.

Septic services across the Front Range

Every page below explains one piece of Front Range septic work in plain terms, with the county rules that apply in Jefferson, Larimer, and Boulder counties, then offers a free match with an independent local contractor.

One sale, three county documents

Most septic work on the Front Range traces back to a single trigger: Jefferson, Larimer, and Boulder counties each require a document before a home on an on-site wastewater system can sell, and that document rests on an inspection. The transfer inspection page covers each program in depth, and the Front Range septic transfer guide walks the whole sale timeline. The short version:

County Document Issued by Valid for Newer-system exception
Jefferson Use permit Jefferson County Public Health Until closing or six months, whichever comes first Applies when the system was installed more than five years before the sale date
Larimer Acceptance document Larimer County Department of Health and Environment Until the closing date or 12 months, whichever comes first Excepted when final approval came less than three years before the request
Boulder Property Transfer Certificate Boulder County Public Health One year Exempt when the entire system received final approval less than five years before closing

Where these rules apply

Verify your county's transfer document

Counties adjust fees, forms, and timelines, so before scheduling any of the work above, confirm the current requirement with the office that issues your document:
