FAQ’s
-
In most circumstances from a fire and environmental health clearance perspective fire rebuild properties are not being considered like new builds.
-
Current county environmental health codes specify how to approach septic systems in the case of a catastrophic event. County staff are required to follow the code, which for septic systems has to be approved by the State Water Resources Control Board. Because of health and safety concerns for water quality the State requires rebuilds to meet current code in most cases. In many situations the existing septic will meet current requirements, in other situations, the septic system may need to be brought up to current code.
