Am adding a new bathroom and do not know if I need to add additional venting for the waste line. Currently have 1 bath, 1 toilet, 2 sinks, 1 dishwasher going through 4" to septic. There is 1 vent, 2 1/2" for all. Am adding 1 toilet, 1 sink, 1 toilet to existing line. Do I need to vent these new fixtures? Thanks for the help.

Yes, you need to add vents for each fixture. Check with your Building Inspection Department for local code, permit, and inspections.
Here is an article for adding a half-bath from Reader's Digest "The Family Handyman" magazine that may help you:
