Public Health- Seattle & King County requires all sellers of properties with onsite sewage systems (Septic Tank System) to have their on-site Septic Tank System inspected by a King County licensed On-Site System Maintainer (OSM). The inspection must be completed and a copy of the report must be given to both the buyer and Public Health before the transfer of title. The OSM must use the King County reporting forms when submitting the inspection report packet to Public Health
King County OSS Inspection filing fee $100.00 This fee is collected by your O&M Professional (check made out to PHSKC Health) from the homeowner (or whoever is paying) and paid directly to King County - This is not a fee charged by Lilly's Septic, this is a KC fee...... but we must have the funds prior to submital of the OSS paperwork.

Before closing, the seller must record a Notice of On-site Sewage System Operation and Maintenance Requirements (OSSM)* at the King County Recorders Office. This is a document that acknowledges the property is served by a septic system and describes the owner's responsibilities for maintaining the system. The seller gives a copy of the recorded OSSM to the buyer prior to closing. A declaration of receipt of the recorded OSSM should be signed by the seller and buyer for their records (King County does not need a copy of this declaration of receipt).
*OSSM is also known as Form 22U by the Northwest Multiple Listing Service
