Permits & records
Midland is in Cabarrus County
That matters for permits, and it’s why Midland is listed on our Cabarrus County page. Septic work in Midland is permitted by the Environmental Health division of Cabarrus Health Alliance (704-920-1207), not Stanly County. Applications are filed online through the county’s Accela portal.
Which permit you need depends on the job:
- Septic repair permit: wet spots in the yard, sewage backing up, or a collapsed tank.
- Existing System Approval: before a building permit for an addition, pool, shed, deck or replacement mobile home.
- Septic expansion: adding bedrooms to a house on septic.
When you draw a site plan, Cabarrus keeps the tank and drain field at least 50 feet from a well, 15 feet from an in-ground pool or basement, 10 feet from the property line and 5 feet from decks and detached buildings.

Local rules
Septic permits and ground conditions in Midland
Midland sits in eastern Cabarrus County near the Stanly line, close to the Reed Gold Mine State Historic Site. Eastern Cabarrus reaches into the Carolina Slate Belt, so some lots have shallow rock or wet subsoil, and a careful site evaluation matters before a new system goes in.
In Cabarrus County, septic permitting is handled by the Environmental Health division of the Cabarrus Health Alliance (704-920-1207). Soil evaluations, repair permits and existing-system approvals are applied for online through the Accela portal, with a site plan.
Statewide, new systems, repairs and inspections follow North Carolina’s on-site wastewater rules, 15A NCAC 18E (Wastewater Treatment and Dispersal Systems), in effect since January 1, 2024. We work to those rules on every job. See our pumping, inspection, repair and installation services.
FAQ
Questions people ask
I want a pool. Does the septic system need approval?
Yes. Cabarrus Health Alliance requires an Existing System Approval before a building permit for a pool, addition, shed or similar project. It keeps septic systems at least 15 feet from an in-ground pool.
What happens if a septic tank is never pumped?
Solids build up until they flow out into the drain field and clog it. Pumping a tank costs far less than replacing a drain field.
Do I need a permit to fix a drain field in Midland?
Yes. In Cabarrus County you apply for a septic repair permit through Cabarrus Health Alliance’s online Accela portal.
Who issues septic permits in Midland?
Cabarrus Health Alliance’s Environmental Health division (704-920-1207), not Stanly County.

“The pro they sent, Joey, did a fantastic job. He was very thorough and careful in his inspections of a complicated property with multiple systems, helped me think through what to do about what was found, how much things might cost, and was just generally a good person. I would recommend Dahl to anyone who needs a septic inspection!”
