Planning Commission

April 8, 2026, at 7:30 p.m.

NOTICE is hereby given that a meeting of the Fairfax County Planning Commission is to be held in the Board Auditorium of the Fairfax County Government Center, 12000 Government Center Parkway, Fairfax, Virginia 22035.

The Planning Commission will hold a public hearing to consider a proposed amendment to Appendix Q of The Code of the County of Fairfax, Virginia (County Code) regarding adjusting the fees charged by Land Development Services (LDS) for plan review, permits, and inspection services. Pursuant to authority granted by inter alia, Code of Virginia §§15.2-2241(A)(9), 15.2-2286(A)(6), 62.1-44.15:27(H)(4), 36-98.3, 36-105(D)(1), 62.1-44.15:28(9), 62.1-44.15:29, 15.2-107, 15.2-2204, the amendment proposes an approximately five percent increase in all fees with certain exceptions. The proposed 5% increase does not apply to elevator permits and inspections, the technology surcharge percentage, code academy levy percentage, or zero fee applications–each of which will remain unchanged. The amendment also proposes minor adjustments to the 5% increase for smaller fees where 5% does not round to a penny. The amendment further proposes a fifty percent (50%) increase in fees related to major Water Quality Impact Assessments (WQIA) and exceptions under Article 6 of the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Ordinance (Chapter 118 of the County Code) which require a public hearing. Minor editorial changes are also being made to the LDS fee Schedule (Appendix Q).
