Building in Great Falls
What is particular about building in Great Falls, in general terms. Permits here are issued by Fairfax County Land Development Services.
General information, not advice on a particular property. Rules change; we confirm what applies to your site before design begins.
What building in Great Falls involves
Large wooded lots
Houses sit well back from the road among trees, so clearing, the drive and the view from the house are designed together.
Wells, septic and streams
Many properties use a well and septic field, and land near streams can fall within protected areas that limit where building is allowed.
Permitting
Permits are issued by Fairfax County Land Development Services.
