When a permit is required
Permit triggers and exempt work for Remington
A Town zoning permit is required for projects within Remington. If the work also requires a building permit under the USBC, a Fauquier County building permit must be obtained after Town zoning approval.
Note: No public Remington exempt-work list was found on the reviewed Town pages. For structural building-permit exemptions, use Fauquier County and USBC guidance because the County remains the building-permit issuer. Contact Town Hall at 540-439-3220 to confirm zoning requirements before proceeding.
