New Expanded ePortal Services


We are pleased to announce that customers can now submit zoning approval applications online in ePortal, effective September 1, 2022. 


We encourage customers to take advantage of the many benefits of ePortal. A user’s guide on how to submit a zoning application can be found here


Submitting zoning approval applications online via ePortal is voluntary, but will eventually become mandatory, due to increased high-volume demand.


Please ensure to follow all submission requirements by including a house location survey (plat) “to scale” showing the location of the proposed project and the required setback distances from property lines.

 

Please be advised that zoning approval applications for a Typical Residential Deck Design or Joint Occupancy Evaluation (JOE1) will continue to be in person or online process, even after mandatory ePortal submission goes into effect. If the deck project application is not to the Typical Plan, the zoning approval application will need to be submitted via ePortal.


All Private Homeowner customers will be able to continue to visit the Zoning Counters in person for assistance. The general email zoningcounters@pwcgov.org will continue to be available to provide answers to questions, however, applications will no longer be accepted.


For more information, please visit www.pwcva.gov, contact the Land Development Division at LDD@pwcgov.org or call (703) 792-6830
