Of the parcels we have classified in the county, most are on septic rather than sewer (17,513 of 24,482). A property near Perry is more likely than not to have its own system. 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.
