Hi Wyatt,
Generally the situation is this:
1. The design of the septic system will be governed by the intended house occupancy (size). So it is difficult to develop a permitted septic system without a plan.
2. Normally the septic system plan is attached to the house plan and submitted to the county for building permit and concurrently with the state health department.
3. Also normally the government process has alternatives built into the system. There is likely a process which could be pursued to have a legally permitted septic system prior to a home permit but it is likely to be very cumbersome and time consuming.
4. There is a process to inspect & gain approval on existing unpermitted ISDS (individual sewage disposal system). This involves having the unpermitted system inspected by a licensed civil engineer, plumber or architect and the location, capacity and condition of the system is submitted for approval to the state health dept. One can then take this approval in hand to the building department with the house permit application.
Hope this helps
