At a minimum a Building Permit will be required for any new construction or remodeling project in Loudoun County. The Building Permit submission will be handled by your Architect or Builder.
Separate from the Building Permit is a Grading Permit requirement. The Grading Permit depends on the amount of land disturbance. According to the Loudoun County government website, “The law requires property owners who disturb an area greater than 5,000 square feet to apply for a Grading Permit and submit plans for review by the county. Zoned sensitive areas (Steep Slopes, Mountainside or Limestone) will likely have less of a threshold for land disturbance and require a Grading Permit as well.”
As part of the Grading Permit submittal, DeMarr Engineering provides the following Land Surveying and Civil Engineering Service package:
- Topographic/Existing Conditions Survey
- Site, Sediment Erosion & Control Plan
- Stormwater & Outfall Analysis Plan
