Fairfax County enforces federal lead-based paint disclosure for pre-1978 housing and follows Virginia Department of Health protocols for childhood lead exposure investigations, with renovation permits requiring EPA RRP certification for affected properties.
Federal law requires sellers and landlords of pre-1978 housing in Fairfax County to disclose known lead-based paint hazards and provide the EPA pamphlet to buyers and tenants. Renovation, repair, or painting work disturbing more than six square feet of interior or twenty square feet of exterior painted surfaces in pre-1978 homes must be performed by EPA RRP-certified firms. Fairfax County permit reviewers flag affected properties. The Virginia Department of Health investigates elevated blood-lead cases in children under six and may order remediation in identified housing. Older neighborhoods in Annandale, Falls Church area, and Mount Vernon contain the largest pre-1978 stock.
Federal disclosure violations: up to 21,500 dollars per violation; uncertified renovation work: EPA fines plus county stop-work orders.
