Sorry Robert Hudson it does not work that way. You can NOT refuse access. If you do they call a cop. If that does not work they arrest you and do the inspection anyway. Nice freedom we have? So much for personal property meaning anything at all.

It seem’s, that the state has forgoten that we OWN the property on which the septic tank sits.Now if the state wish’s to cross over on to our property. They must get permission, and that might cost as least 1500.00 dollars paid up front, or what ever the LAND OWNER thinks is just.. Just remember! It is your land and you have say so on who can come on it! We have paid our land taxes and the state can not just think that they may come on it at will., That is what ” NO TRESPASS’ means. Oh if this passes, the state may do it’s job. But it is going to cost them. Repeal this stupid law.

Had a mobile home lot and before the folks could move in the tank had to be pumped,which was complied with. Before the folks could move they decided to move to Alabama because they could not afford the permits and inspections that was required. Another family came along and wanted to rent the same place, guess what the first thing was to have a dry septic tank pumped before they could go any further. They also left. Big Government vs. little people.

Don Gaetz voted yes on SB 550. However, now that there is a huge public outcry against it, he’s suddenly “Mr. Small Government Conservative”. In the future, perhaps he should do a little research on bills before he votes on them…

Constantine was arrested on a drunken driving charge in 2004, his second arrest for DUI.[1] In 2007 someone using a computer owned by the legislature removed the entry about Constantine being arrested for DUI from his Wikipedia page, and when asked about the incident Constantine stated, “I don’t even know what Wikipedia is, I’m surprised I can even pronounce it

If the problem with septic tanks are in the waterfront lots have those inspected by “state” inspectors not private business people. Lee Constantine is looking out for the interests of the septic tank business owners in South Florida and no one else. Go Gaetz and Evers and get this law “flushed” down the pipes.
