Stafford Plans New Permit Center

Stafford, Va. — By spring, Stafford County officials aim to open a new center to streamline how developers and residents obtain building permits.

A new $400,000 facility will be built on the first floor of the county’s administration center in Stafford, next to the courthouse, and its staff will be charged with speeding up the process of getting planning, zoning permits for residents and business owners.

“We are streamlining government and modernizing this area. Our staff will work with each individual applicant on their project and help them navigate the permit process. This new atmosphere, combined with our customer service philosophy to provide quick and friendly service, will improve the overall experience that people have with our local government,” said Stafford Falmouth Supervisor Susan Stimpson.

The new center comes after county officials moved to amend permit fees for proffer amendments, conditional use and site plans.
