County workflow launch area
Local records, local deadlines, local provider paths.
The first launch covers Jefferson, Kitsap, Whatcom, Skagit, and Snohomish. The service starts with public records and official county guidance, then separates what we can organize from what certified professionals or county staff must decide.

Jefferson County
O&M record checks for rural and coastal properties.

- Confirm whether the system type points to annual or three-year inspection frequency.
- Flag when a certified O&M specialist or licensed designer is needed for a sale file.

Kitsap County
Conveyance and private-water coordination for busy transactions.

Packet focus
- Check the record drawing, septic conveyance path, and whether a Property Conveyance Inspection is needed.
- Flag Water Status Report timing for private or Group B water systems.
- Track provider cost separately from our admin fee so the technical work stays transparent.

Whatcom County
Report-of-status and maintenance readiness for Whatcom properties.

Packet focus
- Check whether a Report of System Status appears current and filed.
- Identify whether the system needs a licensed O&M specialist for sale or transfer.
- Organize septic, drinking-water, and ADU-readiness questions around the county records.

Packet focus
- Check the six-month inspection window for sale or transfer timing.
- Verify whether inspection records are documented in the county septic search path.

Snohomish County
Records and maintenance clarity for septic-served homes.
Snohomish County maintains OnlineRME records for as-builts and service history, publishes inspection-frequency guidance, and recommends private-well due diligence for homebuyers.
Packet focus
- Pull as-built and service-history records where available through the county record path.
- Check whether the system type points to annual or three-year inspection frequency.
- For private wells, organize records, water testing questions, disclosures, and inspection options without claiming a county sale-inspection requirement.
