Board of Zoning Appeals Weekly Agendas

The Board of Zoning Appeals meets weekly on Wednesdays beginning at 9:00 a.m. at the Board Auditorium - 12000 Government Center Parkway, except for weeks that contain a County holiday. A recess is generally taken in August/September and in late December/early January. Board of Zoning Appeals meetings are aired live on the County government's cable TV Channel 16, streamed online, and over the phone at 703-324-7700. Archived video of previous BZA meetings are also available for viewing on demand.

The agendas for the Fairfax County Board of Zoning Appeals are posted to this page approximately 20 days prior to the hearing date and are then updated after the meeting has taken place. Please contact the clerk's office to verify whether any changes have occurred after the posting.

Public Testimony

If you wish to speak at a BZA meeting, it is recommended that you sign up ahead of time using the BZA Speaker Sign Up form. Testimony may be in person, by phone, or via pre-submitted video. In addition, you may give testimony during a public hearing by calling 703-324-1020 while the hearing is in progress. Should the meeting status change to a virtual meeting due to the COVID-19 pandemic, no in person testimony will be permitted (phone and video only).

All public hearings are held at:

Board Auditorium
Fairfax County Government Center
12000 Government Center Parkway
Fairfax, VA 22035

If you wish to provide written comment for a hearing, it can be emailed to BZAClerkMail@FairfaxCounty.gov or mailed to Clerk to the Board of Zoning Appeals, 12055 Government Center Parkway, Suite 801, Fairfax, VA 22035. To ensure that information submitted concerning applications currently pending before the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) will be included with the Board package materials distributed to the BZA members, the information must be received prior to 3:00 p.m. on the Tuesday one week before the meeting at which the application is scheduled. Any emails/correspondence received after that time up to 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday the day before a hearing will be distributed to the Board members the evening before or morning of the hearing.

Any correspondence received after the deadlines will not be distributed to the BZA members or included as part of the official record once a final decision is made on an application. If a hearing is continued, deferred, or decision deferred to another date, any correspondence that was received after the initial deadlines, but before the new deadlines of the date the hearing was moved to, will become part of the permanent file.

BZA Inclement Weather Policy

In the event of inclement weather, the County Executive may close all county offices or may grant unscheduled leave to county employees. In both cases, all Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) public hearings scheduled for that day shall be cancelled and the applications rescheduled for the next available meeting date which can accommodate the hearings and allows sufficient time for re-advertising. BZA members, county staff and citizens should listen to emergency announcements featured on Fairfax County Cable Channel 16 and provided to area television and radio stations and/or www.fairfaxcounty.gov.
