1. Do I Actually Need a Site Assessment? - I have a closed system (no leach field...) holding tank that pumps up to municipal sewer...

Everything I see requires an assessment for a septic system. The OP does not have a septic, he is on sewer. Big difference.

That is exactly why I responded the way I did. If it’s wanted it would be up to the buyer. The seller has no obligation when tied into the city sewer. Again always consult your broker and attorney.

I agree I don't believe he needs a site assessment.

The whole idea of the Site Assessment is to describe what could be done to meet current standards if your SEPTIC system were to fail. It does not need to be provided until closing but it's good idea to get it done early because a buyer can back out if they don't sign off on it.

Peter Cooperdock of Fernstone Associates did both my septic design and waterfront assessment. I suggest giving him a call, 603-323-7507
