Reply to comment by ManderBlues in Building code / septic question by thafunkyhomosapien

Most are not, however when a home changes hand an inspection is required and in many cases a new system is installed. We requested a larger system from our seller knowing we wanted to convert a bedroom. You never know, always good to check.

I can just speak from the builder side. They are not spending money to add septic capacity over what they are building. So, certain lots may pay more to have that, but its not the standard I see.

If you are replacing a septic you should ALWAYS design for one extra bedroom. Typically, the additional cost is very minor.
