1Opinion of the CourtHoughton, C.J.

Thurston County Rental Owners Association (the Association) challenged Thurston County’s (the County) permit system for on-site septic tank systems, arguing that: (1) the County lacks authority to require the permits and impose the fees; (2) the County has spent the revenue from the fees in an unlawful or unconstitutional manner; (3) the permit program violates due process and equal protection rights under the federal and state constitutions; and (4) the County’s inspection program amounts to an unconstitutional search. The trial court upheld the permit system. We affirm.
