What is the maximum number of total rooms that a structure may have based on the number of bedrooms specified on the septic permit?
The total number of rooms allowed for a given septic system without the need for a deed restriction is as follows:
3 Bedroom Permit a maximum of 7 rooms is allowed
4 Bedroom Permit a maximum of 9 rooms is allowed
5 Bedroom Permit a maximum of 11 rooms is allowed
6+ Bedroom (multiply # of permitted bedrooms by 2 and add 1)
A deed restriction may be appropriate in some instances. Contact the Board of Health if you would like more information as it relates to your specific property.
