Reviewing Building & Zoning Regulations
Modifications
For your specific business you might need to or want to alter walls, structural elements and /or equipment within the building or on the site you have selected. In addition, to ensure the safety and health of the building's occupants, you may also be required to complete some modifications to the property in accordance with the Building Code and other County requirements. For a quick guide to developing property in the county, you may want to consult the King George County Development Guide. This is a guide to the review procedures for permit applications and development approvals in the zoning and subdivision ordinances.
This is only a guide and should not be considered a substitute for state building code and county zoning and subdivision ordinances. An electronic version of this guide can be found online. Should your business requires work on the building, before starting any construction work, remember to obtain all required construction permits. Staff in the County's Department of Community Development can assist you.
