To report a Zoning or Noise Ordinance violation.

Fairfax County provides an online form to report possible Zoning or Noise Ordinance violations within the County of Fairfax. Click here to reach a link to this form.

You can read many of the Codes and ordinances of Fairfax County here.

The County's Noise Ordinance (ch. 108 of the County Code) forbids excessive noise from musical instruments, radios, televisions or other sound systems, as well as disturbances by barking dogs or other domestic animals. To violate the ordinance, noise must be clearly audible across property lines or through partitions. In addition, the Noise Ordinance prohibits a number of specific actions during early morning or late evening hours. All complaints usually require monitoring to establish that a violation exists.

Here are some specific prohibitions stating acts that are considered violations during the hours noted:

Operating loud speakers & amplifiers (exterior of buildings) 11 PM -7 AM
Operating construction equipment (outdoors) 9 PM - 7 AM
Operating construction equipment (outdoors) on Sundays and Federal Holidays 9 PM - 9AM

Operating powered model vehicles (outdoors) 9 PM - 7 AM
Refuse collection in residential neighborhoods 9 PM - 6 AM

Complaints should be reported to Zoning Enforcement, 703-324-1300, between 8 AM and 4:30 PM weekdays. In addition, noise complaints can be reported to the Police Department's non-emergency line at 703-691-2131.
