Texas HB5549 amends regulations for on-site sewage disposal systems, including licensing requirements, permit fees, and penalties.

Texas HB5549 amends the regulation and planning of on-site sewage disposal systems. It mandates that owners of single-family residences in counties with populations of at least 40,000 must maintain their systems directly or through a maintenance contract. If an owner violates regulations, they must correct the violation or enter into a maintenance contract. The bill also increases the administrative penalty for violations and raises permit fees for on-site wastewater treatment.
