About Bullard and Its Septic Rules
The Census Bureau estimated Bullard’s population at 5,070 as of July 1, 2024. The Census Bureau lists the town in two counties: most of it is in Smith County, and a smaller part is in Cherokee County (Census Bureau city and town population estimates, Texas).
Because the town spans two counties, the permitting authority for your septic system depends on which county your lot is in. On the Smith County side, the county’s OSSF page lists RTS Environmental LLC as its OSSF contractor. It says to start any new system or repair with a licensed installer, who brings in a registered sanitarian to design the work and handle the permit (Smith County OSSF). If your property is on the Cherokee County side, check with that county’s permitting authority, which you can find through TCEQ’s OSSF program (TCEQ OSSF).
Septic Services for Bullard Properties

Septic Tank Pumping and Cleaning
Pumping removes the sludge and scum that build up in the tank over time. TCEQ recommends pumping a conventional tank every three to five years, while for aerobic units it depends on sludge depth and the manufacturer’s recommendations (TCEQ). See septic tank pumping and cleaning.
Aerobic treatment units have an air pump, an alarm and disinfection. Texas rules set ongoing maintenance and reporting requirements for them (TCEQ). See aerobic system maintenance.
Slow drains, gurgling, odors and backups can point to a problem with a baffle, line, pump or other component. See septic repair.
When the drain field stops absorbing water, you may notice soggy ground or wastewater surfacing. See drain field repair.
An inspection helps when you’re buying or selling a home, or just want to know the condition of your system. See septic inspection.
New homes and failed systems need a new design and installation. See septic installation.

Emergency Septic Service
If wastewater is backing up into the house, cut water use right away and reach out. See emergency septic service.
