HB 1140 New Hampshire House · 2024 Regular Session

relative to requirements for homeowner installations of septic systems.

This bill exempts homeowners from needing a state installer's permit when they install or repair their own septic systems for their primary residence. Instead of requiring a license, the law mandates that these DIY projects must follow specific rules set by the state department. The change is designed to reduce regulatory burdens for property owners while still ensuring that work is done according to established safety and environmental standards.
