Zoning, building permits and septic rules in Village of Halltown, Missouri

Rules another office applies inside Village of Halltown

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

• Septic permitLimited

  Onsite wastewater-system installation or repair inside Halltown village where an onsite system is used.

  • A construction permit is required before installation or repair of most OWTS.
  • Some single-family residential lots may be exempt.

  “A construction permit is required before installing or repairing most onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS). Some single family residential lots may be exempt from permitting.”
