An act relating to requiring inspection of wastewater systems

H.142 requires sellers of real property served by a wastewater system to provide buyers with a certificate of inspection conducted within two years prior to the sale. This affects home sellers and buyers in Vermont who are purchasing properties with existing wastewater systems. The bill mandates inspections by licensed designers who must certify the system's functionality, compliance with regulations, and identify any needed repairs. The certificate must be filed with both the state Secretary and the town's land records before the property transfer. The law takes effect on July 1, 2025.
