What's different about septic in New Smyrna Beach
New Smyrna Beach sits inside the lagoon program area, so the July 2030 requirement applies to properties still on septic. The city’s own comprehensive plan describes most of its soils as having severe limitations for septic, and most of the tanks left in the city are on the mainland rather than the island.
Sewer status
Much of the city is sewered, and where your street is, connection is the compliance path rather than an upgrade — usually cheaper, and it ends the question. Worth confirming before you price anything else.
