State Budget Addition of Fees for Repairs, Voluntary Upgrades, and Safe, Adequate, and Proper Evaluations
Action 6210
 
General Information
Action Summary The Regulations Governing Fees for Onsite Sewage Disposal Systems, Alternative Discharge Systems, and Private Wells (the Regulations) establish procedures for determining the fees, refunds of fees, and waiver of fees for services provided by the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) for onsite sewage systems, alternative discharge systems, and private wells. The Board of Health (the Board) last revised the Regulations in 2016. The Appropriation Act has been amended since then to mandate the fees charged for Repair Permits, Voluntary Upgrades, and Safe, Adequate, and Proper Evaluations, and does not give VDH any discretion in the amount of the fees charged. The Appropriation Act also added a waiver for Repair Permit fees for property owners at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty guidelines. The Code of Virginia requires VDH to provide a refund when an application for a principal place of residence is denied.
