This page is about getting you to it, not about pretending we hold something we do not. The county is predominantly sewered: only 1,698 of 13,714 classified parcels are on septic. Septic properties near Vail are the exception, which is exactly why owners often do not know they have one. The county publishes a records portal that we were able to search without creating an account, which makes checking a specific parcel something you can do yourself in a few minutes.
