Use of Portable Chemical Toilets

Any use of a portable chemical toilet (i.e. Porta-Potty) requires a permit from the District

Per Section 4.07.070 of the District's Title IV: Onsite Wastewater Management Code:
  1. No person shall use a chemical toilet on any parcel within the District. Such devices may only be used temporarily during construction of a building or other structure, during repair of a failed onsite wastewater treatment system (OWTS), or other special use providing a specific public health benefit as determined upon application on a case-by-case basis by the District.
  2. Use of a portable chemical toilet for a commercial special event(s) on residential property shall not be allowed.
  3. Upon filing of a temporary toilet permit application and payment of the prescribed fee, a permit for such a device serving a temporary use may be issued provided that the device will be provided, regularly serviced, and pumped by a person licensed by the County of Marin pursuant to 25000 et seq. of the Health and Safety Code.

Failure to service the portable chemical toilet and/or the presence of otherwise unsanitary conditions causing a nuisance condition will be considered a violation of the issued permit resulting in revocation. Abatement proceedings will be enforced should a nuisance condition develop and persist.
