Getting This Permit in Loudoun County
Residential Permit applications in Loudoun County are processed through Loudoun County Department of Building and Development. Loudoun County residential permits go through the LandMARC portal, and the county's 'County Typical' program makes it one of the fastest jurisdictions in the region for standard decks and basement finishes - typically just a few business days for complete submissions. Inside the seven incorporated towns, the county still issues the building permit, but town zoning approval must come first.
- County Typical deck and basement permits reviewed in days, not weeks
- Live county dashboards show current residential review queues
- Town properties (Leesburg, Purcellville, etc.) need town zoning approval before county permit release
- Historic district work requires a Certificate of Appropriateness from the HDRC first
