Service Areas by County and Jurisdiction

Northern Virginia spans multiple independent permit jurisdictions — each with its own building department, inspection process, and electrical code enforcement. Knowing which office handles your permit matters. Here’s how SparkWise Electric serves each area.

Fairfax County

Fairfax County is SparkWise Electric’s primary service territory. Permits are issued by the Fairfax County Department of Land Development Services (LDS). We serve all unincorporated Fairfax County communities including:

  • Fairfax
  • McLean
  • Springfield and West Springfield
  • Reston, Herndon, Vienna, Burke, Annandale, Centreville, Chantilly, Lorton, Merrifield, and surrounding communities

We also serve the City of Fairfax and the Town of Herndon, which have their own permit offices separate from Fairfax County LDS.

Arlington County

Arlington County permits are issued by the Arlington County Department of Community Planning, Housing and Development (CPHD). Arlington has some of the most active residential renovation and EV charger installation activity in Northern Virginia, and we have deep experience with the county’s inspection process.

City of Alexandria

Alexandria is an independent city — not part of any county — and issues permits through the Alexandria Department of Planning and Zoning. We regularly work in Old Town, Del Ray, Rosemont, and other Alexandria neighborhoods, and are familiar with the city’s permitting workflow and historic-district considerations.

Permit Jurisdictions We Work In

Every electrical permit jurisdiction in Northern Virginia has different processing times, fee schedules, and inspection procedures. SparkWise Electric handles the full permit process in all of the following — application, scheduling, and final sign-off:

  • Fairfax County LDS — unincorporated Fairfax County
  • City of Fairfax — independent city within Fairfax County boundary
  • Town of Herndon — separate from Fairfax County LDS
  • Arlington County CPHD — all Arlington residential and commercial work
  • City of Alexandria DPZ — all Alexandria city limits work
