Does the State of Nebraska conduct inspections of septic systems as part of a real estate transfer?
• Yes. The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services conducts water well and septic system inspections for a fee. The inspection is strictly voluntary and is typically requested by the lender or buyer prior to the sale of the property. Some local jurisdictions do have separate property transfer inspection requirements. Please check for local requirements. Private inspectors certified to inspect onsite wastewater treatment systems can be found on the list of certified professionals on the NDEQ website.
