Where the septic paperwork for a property in High Point is actually kept, what it contains, and how to get a copy. In Davidson County, North Carolina, which covers part of High Point, we have measured 45,109 parcels on septic and 18,764 on sewer. That is a county measurement. We do not hold a septic count for High Point on its own and this page does not estimate one. High Point also extends into Randolph County and Forsyth County and Guilford County, which are reported separately below and are not included in that figure.
The document people mean by “the septic record” is usually the as-built drawing filed with the county after the system passed its final inspection. A complete one shows the tank’s working capacity and its position relative to the house, the location and layout of the dispersal field, the design flow the system was permitted for, the date, and who installed it. The permit file underneath it holds the application, the soil or site evaluation, and the inspector’s sign-off. Between them they answer the questions that cost money to answer any other way: where the lid is, how big the tank is, and where you must not dig, park or build.
We hold 12,684 septic records for Davidson County, North Carolina. That is a substantial partial collection rather than a complete one, so a High Point property may or may not appear in it, and the county archive remains the authority. Of the parcels we have classified in the county, most are on septic rather than sewer (45,109 of 63,873). A property near High Point 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.
| County | Records we hold | Records machine-readable | County records portal | Searchable without an account |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Davidson County | 12,684 | 95% | county portal | account or login required |
| Randolph County | none held | not yet measured | county portal | account or login required |
| Forsyth County | none held | not yet measured | not published | — |
| Guilford County | 0 | 0% | not published | — |
Neither figure is a claim about how many records the county itself has. A county nearly always holds more than we have collected.
Where the county publishes a searchable portal it is linked in the table above, and that is nearly always faster than a formal request. Bring the parcel number if you have it: septic files are indexed by parcel far more reliably than by street address, and an address search failing does not mean the record is absent. If the portal has nothing, the record is requested from the county in writing. We have not verified a named records custodian for this county. Rather than print a guess that would send a real records request to the wrong desk, this page sends you to the county page, where the portal and access notes we did verify are listed.
Systems installed before a county began permitting often have no as-built at all. That is a finding, not a dead end: the tank and field are then located physically and an inspection becomes the record.
These are real businesses we hold an address for, not a ranked or paid list. We take no fee and list nobody preferentially. Confirm current licensing with your county or state before hiring.

Yes, and it is common. Systems installed before the county started permitting often have no as-built on file. The system then has to be located and assessed physically.
