Screened Porch & Outdoor Living Middleburg VA

A screened porch in Middleburg, VA is a Route 50 town job with two different lots behind the same ZIP. Inside the Historic District the yard is often tight along the street. Along Atoka, Foxcroft, and Goose Creek the mailing address is still Middleburg and the parcel is often unincorporated county, frequently on well and septic. We check the parcel before we describe the permit path.

Inside Town limits, a deck or porch that needs a Loudoun County building permit starts with a Town Zoning Location Permit. The county issues building permits county-wide and still expects that town step first. Outside Town, county building and zoning apply through LandMARC. A roof or a screen needs full plans, not the Typical Deck Detail. The county publishes a screened porch as a residential addition.

In the Historic District, exterior changes visible from a public street need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic District Review Committee. Exact in-kind repair or replacement is exempt. Any change in form, material, or color is not. A new screened porch is a change in form, not an in-kind repair. Complete applications are due 14 days before the meeting. A county permit is not the certificate. Conservation easements show up on some western Loudoun lots. We read the parcel before the footprint is locked.

Gas and electrical for an outdoor kitchen or a fire feature are licensed trades. Real Elite does not take electrical work. Lighting is solar post-cap and step lights. The price is a free written estimate after a site walk.
