In Pierce County, Washington, which covers Tacoma, we have measured 200,696 parcels on septic. That is a county measurement. We do not hold a septic count for Tacoma on its own and this page does not estimate one.
Tacoma is a city in Pierce County, Washington. The Census Bureau puts its internal point at 47.252199, -122.459832 and its land area at 49.72 square miles. Septic permitting and record keeping happen at the county level, not the city level, which is why every figure below is attributed to the county and linked back to the county page it came from.
