Septic permitting and record keeping happen at the county level, not the city level, which is why every figure below is attributed to the county and linked back to the county page it came from.

The county is genuinely mixed: 72,264 of 226,498 classified parcels are on septic and the rest are sewered. Which side of that line a Argo address falls on is worth establishing before anything else. The county publishes a records portal, but reaching the documents needs an account or a login, so budget for that step rather than expecting an open search.
