Limestone County, Alabama
Septic service in Limestone County
Pumping, inspections, drain field repairs, and permit questions across Athens, Ardmore, Elkmont, Lester, and the rest of the county.
Limestone County sits directly west of Madison, and a large share of its growth is people priced out of Huntsville buying land in and around Athens. That means two different septic conversations happening at once: older rural systems on long-held family property, and brand-new installs on parcels being subdivided for the first time. The permitting office handles both.
Where septic permits are handled
Limestone County Health Department
8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Limestone publishes a single main number rather than a separate environmental line, so ask for the Environmental Division when you call.
That is the county health department, not us. Permits go through them.
What this office publishes for onsite sewage
- Environmental services including onsite sewage
What is not published online
Things people look for that Limestone does not put on its website. Rather than guess, here is what you will need to call about.
- The county does not publish a dedicated environmental services page, so the specific onsite sewage services are not itemized online.

- Permit fees are not published online.
- A street address is not published on the department's main page.
