I am interested in running a home-based business in Fairfax County. How do I go about getting licensed?
In addition to obtaining a BPOL license, businesses located at residential addresses must obtain a Home Occupation Permit or Non-Residential Use Permit from the Zoning Permit Review Branch of the Fairfax County Department of Planning and Zoning, Zoning Administration Division. Permits are issued after certain zoning requirements are met. For further information, contact the Zoning Permit Review Branch at 12055 Government Center Parkway, Fairfax, Virginia 22035, or telephone 703-222-1082.
