All septic installers must be licensed through the County. This license is obtained by passing a written test administered by the Flathead City-County Health Department. The fee for this test is $120 and must be scheduled 48 hours in advance. A yearly $65 renewal fee is required to maintain this license.
The test is open book, and you will be provided a copy of the septic regulations and construction standards to reference at the time of the test.
