Onsite records available online

DEQ is digitizing onsite septic records for the nine counties where it administers onsite septic system programs so they are available to the public online and without charge. The counties that DEQ has septic system records for are Baker, Coos, Curry, Jackson, Josephine, Morrow, Union, Wallowa and Wheeler. All records should be available by spring 2019.

​New site allows users to submit onsite applications online

You can now use your credit card to pay application fees for septic system permits, site evaluations, authorization notices, records requests or other onsite fees. This move is a further expansion of the onsite program’s online offerings. Applicants can submit and track their applications and receive their permits online.
 
The online system allows users to create an account to track their applications and to pay invoices online. Check it out on the Oregon e-Permitting page. DEQ offices also have public kiosks for those who don’t have internet access or who want help with the process. A help desk is available to anyone who has questions. It can be reached at oregonepermitting@oregon.gov or by calling 503-373-7396 or 1-800-442-7457.
