Land Use and Planning

About

Our built and natural environments are important in Fairfax County. There are many projects, polices, plans and procedures to manage land use in our community.

Land Development Process Overview

The development process in Fairfax County involves comprehensive reviews by numerous county and non-county agencies and may involve many steps before a project can be approved.

Every project is unique and subject to its own set of requirements depending on the location and complexities of the project.
