Those who do not have access to the Internet may call 703-771-5331 and they will be connected with a member of our Permit Issuance Team who will assist with scheduling.  Please be aware that the team members are available from Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.  After that time, callers may leave a message which will be responded to the next business day.  The inspection will not be scheduled for 24 hours.
