Septic ceiling checklist
In rural STR markets, the septic file can matter more than the bedroom count on the listing.
Run these checks first
Pull the septic record
Confirm the documented system size and guest support before you trust the floor plan.
Match occupancy to the permit file
Do not assume marketing copy can outrun health-department limits.
Budget inspection timing
A slow inspection can change your setup calendar and tax-year plan.
Model the smaller guest count
If the legal count falls, the nightly rate and reserve plan may need to change too.
