Permits for a new house in Purcellville
Who issues permits: Town and Loudoun County.
Loudoun County says permits must come from the appropriate county agencies and towns, so check with the Town of Purcellville as well as the county.
Loudoun County issues a Building and Zoning Permit for a new house. A grading permit is needed once you disturb 5,000 sq ft or more, or on steep slopes, and a Health Department permit if the lot uses a well or septic system. Contractors need a Virginia contractor license and a Loudoun County business license (Loudoun County, residential construction permits).
Rules change, so confirm the current requirements with the permit office before you buy a lot or sign a design contract.
Before you call a builder
- Confirm the jurisdiction. Look up your parcel so you know exactly which county, town or city issues your permits.
- Gather your lot facts: survey or plat, lot size, and whether it is on public water and sewer.
- Set a budget range that includes demolition and site work, not just the house. Our estimator helps.
- Shortlist three builders who work in Purcellville, check each one’s Virginia Class A contractor license, and ask them all the same questions.
