Section
15.2-2209.3 of the Code of Virginia requires localities with populations greater than 3,500 to provide information on fees for processing, reviewing, and permitting of applications for residential land development and construction activities, including fees connected to individual residential developments for the 2025 calendar year (January 1, 2025 – December 31, 2025).
The Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) and the Commission on Local Government (CLG) are asking the chief administrative officers or designee in each affected county, city, and town to provide essential information about the fee collection policies in the locality.
As required by law, localities must provide responses to this survey by March 1, 2026. Following submission, DHCD will publish each locality’s responses, per section
15.2-2209.3.
Instructions:
- Please respond to this online questionnaire by March 1, 2026.
- Please ensure that only one response is generated for your locality-- however multiple staff members can access the survey by using the “save and continue” feature.
- Please be sure to enter a response for each field that appears, as only questionnaires completed in their entirety will be accepted.
- Please complete the survey to the best of your ability and utilize the comment sections to explain any discrepancies or unique situations.
If you have any questions concerning these matters, please contact Joseph Dennie at joseph.dennie@dhcd.virginia.gov. Thank you for your assistance.
