Office of the Fire Marshal Fee Changes Effective July 1, 2026

Starting July 1, Fairfax County will implement updated fee schedules for the Office of the Fire Marshal along with Land Development Services (LDS) and zoning applications. The adjustments are intended to reflect the increase in costs related to inflation and personnel over recent years while ensuring the continuation of high-quality county services.

UPDATES TO FEE SCHEDULE

Office of the Fire Marshal will implement fee increases on plan review time, inspection time, flat rate inspections and Fire Prevention Code Permits by approximately 5% on July 1, 2026. Technology surcharge fees will remain flat with no increase for Fiscal Year 2027 (FY27). You can see a full list of fee changes in the Chapter 62 Staff Report.

Changes to Land Development Services fees can be found in Appendix Q (Fee Schedule) staff report.

All fee changes will apply to applications approved and work performed beginning July 1, 2026.
