Site Plan Permits

A site plan permit is required for work shown on an Arlington County Site Plan or work shown on a Fairfax County SP, SD, PI, MSP or RGP Plan.  These plans require approval from the appropriate county and recommendation for approval by VDOT.

NOTE: Good right-of-way management principles dictate that all site plans permits issued in the VDOT right-of-way be monitored on a regular basis.   Inspectors monitor sites for proper erosion and siltation control, safety issues, and work affecting the right-of-way.
