If your soil evaluation was conducted prior to March 2023, please call our office so that we can help determine the most efficient way to complete your new septic permit application. The Macomb County Health Department Environmental Health Services Division still maintains records of soil evaluations (perc tests) that occurred prior to launching our electronic self-service portal. These are a mixture of paper files as well as electronic records from this new system tied to the self-service portal.

 

The Macomb County Health Department Environmental Health Services Division utilizes Accela Citizen Access (ACA) to provide secure, online Environmental Health services to its clients. This is the same portal that Macomb County Public Works utilizes. To apply for a service online, you will first need to sign up for an account here. Please also see our how-to guide on Registering for an Account in Accela Citizen Access for more information.
