Massachusetts Title 5 inspection required before property transfer
Massachusetts Title 5 (310 CMR 15.000) requires a septic system inspection within 2 years before property sale, or within 6 months after transfer if weather prevents pre-sale inspection. The report is submitted to the local board of health. Systems that fail must be repaired or replaced — typically within 2 years. Inspection costs in Massachusetts range from $700–$1,400 depending on system size, access, and whether pumping is included. Inspectors must be licensed by MassDEP as System Inspectors. The Title 5 certification is a specific designation — confirm the inspector holds a current MassDEP System Inspector license, not just a general contractor license.
