Real Estate Inspections
Real Estate Inspections
Well and Septic Evaluations for the purpose of a real-estate transaction are not required by the Ogle County Health Department but may be required by lending agencies or in real-estate contracts. It is a good idea to have one done for liability purposes and to prevent unexpected expenses related to well and septic repairs. To apply for an inspection, please download the application that pertains to you (homeowner or realtor) and the Sanitary Evaluation Policy. Please complete the application and review the policy. There are requirements for preparation in the policy. When the application is complete, you may email to awhaley@oglecountyil.gov fax, mail, or bring the form to the Ogle County Health Department. We do require the application, before we can call to set up the appointment. Once the application is received, the inspector will call the person who will be meeting the inspector on site to set up a day and time for the appointment.
