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

We have not yet collected septic documents from Chatham County, North Carolina, so for a Cary property the county's own file is currently the only route. This page is about getting you to it, not about pretending we hold something we do not. Of the parcels we have classified in the county, most are on septic rather than sewer (21,978 of 25,514). A property near Cary is more likely than not to have its own system. 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.
