Septic and wells are common

Much of Sebastian was built out on a large platted subdivision, Sebastian Highlands, and many homes there were built with septic tanks and private wells. That makes septic pumping, drain field repair, water testing and water treatment some of the most common needs in town. Indian River County has worked on lagoon protection and septic to sewer efforts, so ask about your area if a septic replacement is on the table.

Permits

The City of Sebastian has its own building department for addresses inside city limits. Areas outside the city fall under Indian River County. Septic permits are handled through the state's program, so ask your septic company which offices are involved.

River and inlet

The Indian River Lagoon and the St. Sebastian River give the area waterfront homes, docks and salt or brackish air. Homes closer to the water need more attention on outdoor metal, screens and paint.
