Onsite Septic System Property Sale Process

To complete the property sale process, there is one extra step beyond the submittal of a septic inspection. In order to fulfill the record drawing process and address the additional questions after the inspection report has been submitted, you will need to complete the On-Site Septic System Property Transfer Report, including paying the appropriate fees. This document is intended to assist you with your submittal. Let’s get started!

Step Two – Verify the Property Owner Information

 

 

Important!

Because this is for a Real Estate transaction, it is best to make sure that the owner information is complete and accurate.  

 

 

 

To verify and update the information, once you are on a property, click on the Contact Information link in the menu:

You will be directed to a page that looks like the following:

If you are satisfied with the owner information, you don't need to do anything.  If you need to add owner information, complete all of the appropriate fields and click the "Add Contact" button.  If you want to edit a contact to update it click on the pencil icon 

.  You can also delete the contact if you need to by click on the red 

 icon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step Three – Verify the Septic Components

Next verify (or add) the septic components.  Click on the components menu item in the menu:

You will be directed to the septic components page.  This example site is a standard gravity system. Your site may be different:

Once all of the property owner information and the components are up to date, you can enter the septic inspection.

 

 

 

 

Step Four – Enter the Septic Inspection Results

Please Note

1. If you cannot find the property in OnlineRME, you will need to contact King County Public Health to have them enter the property into the database.

2. Don’t forget, you may need to update the owner information as well as the septic components before you get started.

Just like with any septic inspection, you will login to your OnlineRME account, search and find your property and submit the inspection report. 

When selecting the inspection report, please make sure to select the inspection type “Property Sale”. Here is what you should see once you have entered the inspection date (1), and selected Property Sale (2):

Next complete your report, submit the report and after you are satisfied with it, lock it.

Once it is locked, click “view report”. In the view report mode, you will see the report as a PDF document. Here is where you will save the inspection report to your computer. Your menu options for Adobe will depend upon the web browser you are using and possibly the version of Adobe Acrobat Reader you have installed on your computer.

Important!

Do no print and scan your septic reports. This is an unnecessary step that will cost you money (time, ink and paper). Additionally the quality of the inspection report will not be satisfactory. Save the final "PDF" version of the report. If you have any questions on how to do this, please send and email to support@onlinerme.com
