Paying Decal Citations
Decal Citations

Decal Citations are issued by the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office under a program known as Project Fairness.

These tickets can take several forms:

Warning Tickets are of the form PF99999999 and the words
“* Warning Ticket *” printed along the bottom of the citation. The fine for these tickets is $0.00.

  • If you receive a Project Fairness Warning ticket and are a visitor to Loudoun County, you are not required to display this decal and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. However, we do ask that you contact our office by e-mail at projfair@loudoun.gov or by telephone at 703-771-5700 so that we may close this notice and prevent an actual citation from being issued in the future.

  • If you are a new resident to Loudoun County, you must display a Loudoun County Decal (or appropriate town decal), within 60 days of moving into the county or town.
