Approval of a septic system is conditional on following which code?

• A. Building code for electrical installations
• B. This Administration Code
• C. Federal environmental regulations
• D. State tax code

Answer: (B)

Approvals for septic systems hinge on complying with the local administration code, which sets the permit process, inspections, and sanitation standards used by the authority to grant permission. This code is the framework that health departments and building departments rely on when reviewing plans and determining whether a septic system meets required conditions. While federal environmental regulations can influence overall standards, the formal approval closest to the permit decision comes from the local administration code. The other options address unrelated areas—electrical installation specifics, general federal regulations, or tax matters—none of which govern the permit approval for a septic system.
