Zoning, building permits and septic rules in Town of Raymondville, Missouri

Rules another office applies inside Town of Raymondville

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

• Owner-builder exemptionConditional

  A property owner inside Raymondville town who installs, modifies, or repairs that owner's on-site sewage disposal system.

  • The owner must comply with RSMo §§ 701.025 to 701.059.
  • The exemption concerns on-site sewage disposal work; it does not establish an exemption from any Raymondville building-permit rule.

  “Nothing in sections 701.053 to 701.055 shall preclude property owners from installing, modifying or repairing their own on-site sewage disposal system as long as they comply with the provisions of sections 701.025 to 701.059.”

  Construction or repair of an on-site wastewater treatment system inside Raymondville town, subject to the state baseline and any applicable local authority.

  • A local ordinance may be more restrictive than the state standard.

  “Generally, a permit must be obtained before starting construction or repair work. However, certain residential properties may be exempt from state permitting requirements.
