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.

That is a substantial partial collection rather than a complete one, so a Monteagle 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 (10,982 of 17,973). A property near Monteagle 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.
