What is different about installation in Kendall
New septic systems in Kendall are mostly replacements on 1970s lots. Kendall is unincorporated, so sewer comes from Miami-Dade Water and Sewer, and Ordinance 22-83 bans a new septic system where a public sewer abuts the property; the County's iWASD Connect map shows whether it does.
Where septic is allowed, the design follows today's rules: DERM approval, an advanced treatment unit, a drain field 36 inches above the wet-season water table and 100 feet from Kendall's lakes and canals. On many lots that means a raised field.
Kendall homes date mostly from the 1970s, median build year 1978, and many sit beside lakes and canals. A new system must keep 100 feet from those water bodies and sit 36 inches above the wet-season water table, which often moves the drain field to the front of the lot.

What type of system will I need for my property in Kendall?
Miami-Dade County prohibits Type 1 conventional systems for new installations. You will need a Type 2, Type 3, or Type 4 system depending on your property type, wastewater volume, and proximity to surface water bodies. Our engineers determine the appropriate system type during site evaluation.
Do I need permits for septic tank installation in Kendall?
Yes, prior written approval from the DERM Director is mandatory before any new septic system installation. We handle all necessary permits and coordinate with DERM throughout the process.
Kendall questions
Can I add a bedroom to a Kendall home on septic?
Only if the system is sized for it. Adding bedrooms increases the design flow, which may require a larger or upgraded system and a new permit.
