Septic, OWTS & Onsite Wastewater Inspection and Permitting Software

Septic Permitting, OSSF, OWTS Inspections, and Installer Records for County Health Departments

Onsite wastewater and septic programs run on system designs, installations, repairs, maintenance and field inspections. GovOwl brings septic permitting, OWTS inspection software, and full system history onto one platform for county and city health departments, configured to your state’s rules rather than a generic template. Whether your program says septic, OSSF, OWTS, or onsite sewage, GovOwl fits your forms and workflow.

Septic and OWTS Software, Run by Sanitarians

GovOwl replaces spreadsheets and legacy tools with one septic and OWTS program platform. Inspectors verify components, log readings, capture photos, and generate reports from the field on a native iPad app that works in remote/rural areas, fully offline and syncs when back in range, so a dead zone never stops an inspection. Office staff review applications, track as-builts, and manage installer and provider licensing from the same record. Our septic program is run by licensed sanitarians and onsite wastewater professionals who permitted and inspected these systems themselves.

Built for Your State’s Program

Every state runs onsite differently, so GovOwl is configured to yours. In Texas, we run the full OSSF program under TCEQ’s 30 TAC Chapter 285: the Authorized Agent process, aerobic and ATU maintenance visits, readings, contract tracking, maintenance-provider reports filed by the provider to cut your office’s admin work, and data structured for state OARS reporting– see our Texas environmental health page. We also run septic and OWTS programs for county health departments in New York and Indiana.
