Texas septic inspections recommended — rules set by county
Texas has no statewide mandate for septic inspections at property transfer. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) licenses On-Site Sewage Facility (OSSF) inspectors. Requirements vary by county — many rural Texas counties have adopted local OSSF rules. The Hill Country (Hays, Kendall, Blanco counties) and East Texas have high concentrations of septic properties. Inspections typically cost $200–$500. FHA and USDA loans in rural Texas often require an OSSF inspection. Buyers should verify that the system has a valid county permit — unpermitted systems are common in older rural properties and can be costly to bring into compliance.
