This page is about getting you to it, not about pretending we hold something we do not. Of the parcels we have classified in the county, most are on septic rather than sewer (5,363 of 7,681). A property near Nelson 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.
