Second-story and over-garage additions

Our McLean Windy Hill project added a living room above a three-car garage, with skylights, a full bathroom and a laundry room. Your existing structure needs its own evaluation before an upper-level addition is designed.

Planning in McLean

Local details to check before you build.

Start with the Fairfax County permit process

Fairfax County has a residential addition and alteration permit process. The required documents depend on your scope, including any structural changes to the existing home.

Fairfax County addition permits

Check your lot’s setbacks

Setbacks depend on the property’s zoning district and applicable development conditions. A survey or plat helps establish where a room addition or detached garage could fit; there is no single setback rule for every McLean home.

Fairfax County zoning guidance

Requirements depend on your parcel and project scope. Confirm current requirements with the reviewing authority; this guidance is not an approval or a permit determination.
