About Warrenton
Premium contracting in Warrenton.
Warrenton is an incorporated town in Fauquier County. The charter dates to 1816. A Warrenton mailing address is not automatically inside the town: ZIP 20186 and ZIP 20187 are both centered in Fauquier County, outside an incorporated place. Inside the town, the Department of Community Development handles applications at the town site, phone (540) 347-1101. The town requires a building permit for decks whose floor is 30 inches or more above finished grade, for finishing a basement, and for additions, garages, or carports. An areaway or egress window on a basement needs additional zoning review. A Certificate of Appropriateness is required before exterior alterations inside the Warrenton Historic District. Outside town limits, building permits go to the Fauquier County Department of Community Development at 16 Courthouse Square, Warrenton, phone (540) 422-8230. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and in-person applications are not accepted after 4:00 p.m. The county zoning permit fee is $110, including the technology fee. The county uses a combined building and zoning application. ZIP 20187's housing is mostly detached (median year built 1991). ZIP 20186 is a different mix (median year built 1987).
