Northern Virginia Fairfax County Permits
Welcome to Northern Virginia Fairfax Permits website. The Fairfax Permit Section approves permits for work in VDOT Right-of-Way (ROW) in Fairfax and Arlington Counties, and accepts streets for maintenance into the secondary roads system.
What's NewAll Permittees,
In order to simplify requesting final inspection process, maintain
accurate digital records and prevent misplacement of manually delivered
requests, effective September 25,2006, all permittees are required to
use an online fill-in the blank form to request final inspection.
The Request for Final Inspection form is available on the Forms web
page. Due to our staffing shortages, this will be the only way we accept
requests for inspections.
Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
New Street Acceptance Procedures
Changes to the Street Acceptance procedures were effective June 6, 2005. Initial Submittal packages for subdivisions now must follow the new process. View the Letter to Industry. Visit our new Street Acceptance pages for details about the new process.
Email Correspondence for Permits
A majority of our regular permit correspondence is now emailed to the permittee. Hardcopies of the correspondence will no longer be sent. To update contact information submit a Permit Update Request.
