NEW VDOT PERMIT CHANGES:
Effective December 13, 2011
The Virginia Deparment of Transportation (VDOT) NOVA Fairfax Permits will no longer require a homeowner, contractor or developer to obtain a VDOT land use permit that is not disturbing within the right of way. Therefore; all Single Lot Permits using a private entrance will be closed out and all sureties will be released and returned in chronological oder from oldest to newest. Please allow letter of credits and paper bonds to take approximately two weeks to process after the permits is released. Please allow cash surety checks to take six to eight weeks to process after the permit is released.
This is to include but not limited to:
1. Use of existing entrance for demolition of an existing or blighted house
2. Use of existing entrance for the construction of a swimming pool, playing court, or for accessory uses such as detached garages.
3. Use of existing driveway entrance for the construction of an addition to an existing house
4. Single lot grading plans for infill lots with an existing entrance
5. Developer permits for new home construction on streets that are ready for VDOT acceptance but not yet accepted into the state system
6. Privately maintained streets – all requests
Effective January 9, 2012
As stipulated in 24VAC30-151-80.B of the current Land Use Permit Regulations, consideration will not be given to an extension request for a permit that has been reinstated after an extension.
The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has embarked on a project to transform the Land Use Permit System (LUPS) to a web-based application and the “new” LUPS will no longer allow multiple permit extensions and reinstatements. It will only allow a one-time extension of an “active” permit (to be submitted 10 calendar days prior to the original permit expiration date) and a one-time reinstatement of an “expired” permit. Should a reinstated permit expire, the permit must be closed out and the Permittee will be required to re-apply for a new permit to complete the work authorized under their original permit.
Effective January 9, 2012
As stipulated in 24VAC30-151-710 of the current Land Use Permit Regulations, time extensions for active permits shall incur a monetary charge equal to one-half the application fee charged to the initial permit. Expired permits may be reinstated; however, fees for reinstatement of expired permits shall equal the application fee.
