The Department of Code Compliance (DCC) responds to over 8,000 complaints each year related to property maintenance, unpermitted construction, zoning, and other violations of County code. DCC seeks compliance with County codes and ordinances in achieving the mission of the agency: to promote, protect, and maintain a healthy and desirable living environment in Fairfax County. The work of the agency is further guided by an annual Equity Impact Plan, in conjunction with the County’s One Fairfax Policy and commitment to consider equity when making policies or delivering programs and services.
As certified by the state of Virginia (VDHCD) and/or appointed by the relevant Code Official to do so on their behalf, the Code Compliance Investigator II conducts research; field investigations; interviews with residents/community; gathers evidence; and applies a variety of investigative techniques regarding alleged code violations – to include preparation of material for testimony in court and/or other adjudicative bodies (e.g. Board of Zoning Appeals; Local Board of Building Code Appeals). Investigators issue formal Notices of Violation and will communicate with those found in violation to advise of the nature of the violation and provide information on methods to achieving compliance. Investigators are responsible for placarding unsafe premises when necessary. Investigators must communicate with other stakeholders, including complainants; general public; Board of Supervisor’s staff; and outside governmental agencies, in order to provide educational and other information to support the activities of the agency. Duties are performed under the direction of a division supervisor.
