Pelham is a census-designated place in Grundy County, Tennessee. The Census Bureau puts its internal point at 35.334137, -85.87029 and its land area at 16.64 square miles. Septic permitting and record keeping happen at the county level, not the census-designated place level, which is why every figure below is attributed to the county and linked back to the county page it came from.

Of the parcels we have classified in the county, most are on septic rather than sewer (4,279 of 5,639). A property near Pelham 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.
