Loan Surveys
Property Transfers |
Loan survey, water and sewage survey or property transfer survey are all the same survey. The survey is often required by a lending agency before a loan amount will be approved to purchase a home. The Chautauqua County Health Department provides this service to private homeowners. This survey simply evaluates the sewage system components and ensures that they are functioning in compliance with the Sanitary Code of the Chautauqua County Health District at the time of the inspection. A water sample is also collected and analyzed for specific bacteria. To learn more about your water click here.
During the survey it may be discovered that the water is not satisfactory for human consumption and/or the sewage components are not functioning properly. At which time corrective measures must be taken. The corrective measures may include: well disinfection, installing continuous water disinfection and/or repairing or replacing a septic system. The corrective measures are clearly communicated to the owner's attorney via written correspondence.
The loan survey packet is designed to guide homeowners through the process of requesting a water and sewage survey. The loan survey application may be downloaded by clicking on the link below. |
