Zoning, building permits and septic rules in Town of Amboy, Indiana

Rules another office applies inside Town of Amboy

Town of Amboy does not set these itself; the county, a health district or the state does, and they apply to every address inside its limits.

• Who permits septicCounty (with conditions)

  Septic systems on land inside Amboy town, Miami County, Indiana. The Miami County Health Department environmental division runs the septic permit and site-evaluation process countywide; the page does not name Amboy town, so application inside the town is inferred from the countywide health service and must be confirmed.

  • Soil evaluations by a state-certified soil science consultant are required for proposed systems, per the same page (410 IAC 6-8.1-48).
  • The health department visits the site to verify plans before a permit may be issued.
