All Easement Plats must be stamped by the Department of Community Development in order to be recorded by the Clerk of the Court in the Land Records

Non-Required Easements

Private easements that are not  being created in conjunction with a zoning or land development application and that do not affect any easement previously approved in conjunction with a zoning or land development application do not require an application form or fee.   Staff will stamp the easement plat to indicate that Community Development Review is not required.

All Other Easements

All other easements require an application to the Department of Community Development.  Easements required as a part of a site plan, infrastructure plan or construction plan require a separate application for approval.  Once the application is received the typical review time is twenty-one (21) business days. Comments needing to be addressed are sent to the owner and applicant. Once the comments are addressed and the plats are resubmitted our review time is fourteen (14) days. When the plats are approved we call the owner or applicant to pick up the plats to be recorded in the Fauquier County Land Records.
