Revitalization and Redevelopment Economic Incentive Program

The Revitalization and Redevelopment Economic Incentive Program (RREIP) is a strategic initiative designed to spur private sector investment in Fairfax County.

  • Must be in 1 of 9 designated Revitalization and Redevelopment Economic Incentive Areas (RREIAs):
  • Min. 2-acre site consolidation
  • 2+ different property owners
  • Aligns with the Comprehensive Plan

The Incentives

  • 10% off site plan fees
  • Partial real estate tax abatement on the value your development creates

Fairfax County adopted the Revitalization and Redevelopment Economic Incentive Program (RREIP) on May 5, 2026, that provides an economic incentive to the private sector to purchase, assemble, revitalize and redevelop property for economic development purposes. The program was established by ordinance, and amends Chapter 4 of the County Code to create a new Article 32 entitled “Revitalization and Redevelopment Economic Incentive Program”. 

Financial Incentives

Financial incentives include a ten percent reduction of site plan fees and a partial abatement of the real estate taxes on the difference between the base value of a property and its post-development value, including any increase or decrease in the annual assessed value of the tax-exempt portion of the property.
