Land Development Services Revises Site Development Cover Sheets
Fairfax County Land Development Services has published revised Site Plan (SP) or Public Improvement Plan (PI), Subdivision Plan (SD) and Infill Lot Grading Plan (INF) cover sheets. In addition to the revised cover sheets, instruction documents for each cover sheet have been included to provide clearer guidance to applicants on the required information. These updates are intended to support more consistent submissions and to facilitate efficient, comprehensive reviews by county staff.
Revised cover sheets dated April 2026 must be used on all first submission SP, PI, SD, and INF plans beginning June 1, 2026. Rough Grading Plans (RGP) associated with major plans should also use the revised cover sheets. Plans submitted prior to June 1, 2026, may continue using the versions included with their original submission.
The revised cover sheets and instructions can be found online at Forms & Publications Library | Planning, Permitting and Construction (fairfaxcounty.gov). Public improvement plans should continue to use the cover sheet named Site Plan Cover Sheet in the Library. All the cover sheets are available in .PDF or .DWG format to support a range of user needs.
