Talladega County, Alabama
Septic service in Talladega County
Pumping, inspections, drain field repairs, and permit questions across Talladega, Sylacauga, Childersburg, Lincoln, and the rest of the county.
Talladega County is unusual for the region in that its health department runs two separate environmental offices rather than one. The county's population is split between the Talladega side and the Sylacauga side, roughly 20 miles apart, and onsite sewage questions are handled at whichever branch covers your property. Calling the wrong one is the most common avoidable delay here.
Two branches, and which one you call matters
Talladega County Health Department — Talladega Branch
8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays
Talladega County Health Department — Sylacauga Branch
8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays
That is the county health department, not us. Permits go through them.
What these offices publish for onsite sewage
- Onsite Sewage (Application and Permits)
- Septic Tank Permits
- Grease Trap Permits
- Land application permitting and related inspections
What is not published online
Things people look for that Talladega does not put on its website. Rather than guess, here is what you will need to call about.
- Permit fees are not published online for either branch.
- The published pages do not state which branch covers which ZIP codes. Call either branch and ask before submitting.
- Soil evaluation scheduling and turnaround times are not published online.
