We have a piece of property that is paid for, we have a mobile home on the lot but we never got around to having a well dug or a septic system put in. We are now wanting to either move into the existing mobile home or have another replace it. What is the first step? Do we contact the septic or well people or do we go to the town and ask for permits?

In my town you have to have a perc test to determine if you can put in a septic system. Ours cost about $600 6 years ago. That was the first thing we did. The person doing it will supply you with a detailed print of the grounds layout etc for you to submit to the town for a permit (he might just do this for you at a town meeting,ours did) You would then be advised what to do next.

First of all you will need water. Contact a well driller and ask for a quote. They will tell you if you need to get the permits or not. A lot of companies will get the permits some require you to. Then after you decide weather you are going to use your old mobile or get another one contact the septic. The home could make all the difference in the world on where the septic needs to go.

first things first u will need a permit if ur gonna dig that deep because u never know what is going on under the ground. plus it's always better to get them infact u might need several of them. then call the septic guys see how much they would charge you for that . and even if u do get a new mobile home. u are gonna need the septic tank anyways.
my advice is to get permits or check and see if they are any needed. then go through with what ever else u wanna go through with. good luck.

Assuming the property does not have access to city sewers and water, you should start with your local health department. They can tell you what types of systems will work at your property and where it's best to put each system. They can also provide you with a list of licensed septic system installers and well drillers.
If city sewer and water is available, contact the town first. It's likely they also have a list of licensed people who can do the work for you.

you may want to get a test first
since you have let it sit for so long you may want your soil tested to see if you are not contaminated if you are your well may be too
call a well and septic they will come out and tell you where best to put it all
they will also get the permits but be careful if you have town water or septic you may have to use theirs so check with your local office they may not want you to dig
