We have not yet collected septic documents from Tompkins County, New York, so for a Forest Home 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. The county is genuinely mixed: 12,670 of 24,143 classified parcels are on septic and the rest are sewered. Which side of that line a Forest Home 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.
