Through the OSTDS Construction program, the Florida Department of Health in Brevard County Environmental Health Services permits, regulates and inspects the construction of new systems, repairs and modifications to existing systems, existing system approvals and abandonments of systems. Anyone who plans to install, repair, modify or abandon an OSTDS in Brevard County must first obtain a permit from our office. In addition, any changes to original permitted conditions require approval from our office. The main goal of this program is to protect public health by eliminating the potential for the spread of infectious disease, by protecting the ground and surface water from improperly built or maintained onsite sewage treatment and disposal systems. Systems producing a domestic sewage flow of more than 10,000 gallons per day (gpd) or a commercial sewage flow of more than 5,000 gpd are regulated by the Department of Environmental Protection.
To submit an OSTDS Construction Permit Application or to schedule an OSTDS Construction Inspection or Final Inspection e-mail Brevard.SepticApplication@flhealth.gov.
