(A) No owner of a tract of land on which a dwelling is located, or a tract of land with a structure which is required to have a subsurface sewage treatment system is located, shall sell or transfer to another party said tract of land unless a compliance inspection has been completed. Results of the compliance inspection shall be provided to the seller, buyer, and the city. Transfer or sale of properties which have a valid certificate of compliance for newly-constructed systems less than five years old do not have to meet the requirements of this section unless the city finds evidence of non-compliance.
(B) A compliance inspection on an SSTS is required at any time the city deems appropriate, such as upon receiving a complaint or other information of system failure.
(C) A compliance inspection on an SSTS is required when there is a proposed addition of a bedroom on the property, or when a conditional use permit or variance is applied for.
(D) When frozen conditions prevent a field evaluation, compliance inspection or installation of an SSTS, a winter agreement may be executed between the months of November to April. A winter agreement may be made between a buyer and seller for property transfers or between the city and an applicant for the request of an additional bedroom, conditional use permit, variance, or as part of a plan to address a notice of non-compliance.
