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.

What we hold for the county that covers Ely

Our collection for St. Louis County, Minnesota is small, at 2,188 septic records. Treat it as a starting point for a Ely property rather than a search that settles the question. The county is genuinely mixed: 32,836 of 83,414 classified parcels are on septic and the rest are sewered. Which side of that line a Ely 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.
