In MN I had to hire a septic designer to draw up a "plan", then I had 
to pay the county $100 (tax) to approve the plan. Then I had to get 
someone to do it. Often the guy who puts them in is licensed to design them.
Watching the amount of work a backhoe can do in a short time is 
amazing (when you compare it to a shovel and wheelbarrow).

The newer the better, watch for the carpet stapled down BEFORE the 
walls were put on in an older one. Getting the carpet out is a pain in those.

Is your place fenced? Running a string from one corner to another was 
a big deal at my place in MN. Once I had that done marking the 
boundaries with a steel fence post every 50 or 100 feet was a big 
help in visualizing what I had.
