About Front Range Septic Pros

Front Range Septic Pros is a free, independent guide to septic work across Boulder, Jefferson, and Larimer counties, built around the rule that catches sellers off guard: the transfer document your county requires before a home on a septic system can sell.

What this site is

Front Range Septic Pros does two things. First, it explains the county rules that govern septic systems along the Front Range, with sources and dates, in plain language. Second, it offers a free match: describe your situation and we connect you with an independent local septic contractor who does the work. We are not a septic contractor, not a certified inspector, and not a government office. Every inspection, pumping, repair, and installation described on this site is performed by the independent local professional you hire.

The site is built around one rule that surprises sellers more than any other: before a home on an on-site wastewater system (OWTS) can sell, Jefferson County requires a use permit, Larimer County an Acceptance Document, and Boulder County a Property Transfer Certificate. Each county attached that requirement under authority delegated by Colorado's On-site Wastewater Treatment Systems Act and Regulation 43, the statewide framework administered by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. The full walkthrough of all three counties is the Front Range septic transfer guide.

How the matching works

The match is free for homeowners. We are paid a referral fee by the professional we match you with, never by you, and that fee does not change your price. You pay the contractor directly at the contractor's own quoted price, and the decision on who to hire is always yours. The full explanation, including the two things we do not do, is on how we make money.

How we source what we publish

Septic rules on the Front Range are county law, so we cite county sources: Jefferson County Public Health's Use Permit Program, the Larimer County Department of Health and Environment's Transfer of Title program, and Boulder County Public Health, plus the state statute and regulation behind them. Fees and timelines change, so specific figures carry a source and a date, and anything we cannot pin to a published source stays qualitative. Cost figures from private companies are labeled contractor-published, because they are quotes from one firm, not government fee schedules.

If a rule has changed since a page was written, we want to know. Send a correction and we will check it against the county source and update the page.

Who runs it

Front Range Septic Pros is operated by Compass Camper LLC, doing business as Compass Lead Group, an independent publisher of local home-service guides. The referral relationship described above funds the site. No county, state agency, or contractor edits our pages.
