Planning and Zoning Customer Service during COVID-19
-
Planning and Zoning continues to remain fully operational and we look forward to providing you with excellent customer service. Please be advised that while the office is staffed daily, in order to ensure social distancing, not all staff is available in the office every day. All permit and plan submissions will continue to be submitted electronically using APEX.
- Just as before the pandemic, not all services are available as a walk through (ex. building permit additions of any size are not a walk through). Many projects require research to provide customers with a complete and accurate answer.
- For questions that require an in-person meeting that cannot be addressed virtually, please contact the staff member you have been working with or email pczoning@alexandriava.gov or call 703.746.4333. Direct inquiries related to Special Use Permits, Subdivisions Encroachments and Vacations to pznondevelopment@alexandriava.gov. Please be sure to include detailed information about your inquiry, including the address, so we can provide you a thorough answer when we follow up.
