Enforcement
The Zoning Enforcement Division is part of the Town's Community Inspections effort and is under the supervision of the Town's Zoning Administrator who is charged with the enforcement of regulations found in the Herndon Zoning Ordinance. These regulations apply to all property within the Town of Herndon, both residential and non-residential. Please visit the Related Links section on this page to view the Monthly Community Inspections Report.

If you suspect a violation, you may contact the office by e-mail: community.violations@herndon-va.gov. In an effort to obtain as much information as possible to assist in the investigation, it is helpful if the reporting party reviews and completes an Ordinance Violation Complaint form.
In addition, complaints are lodged regarding excessive occupancy or overcrowding. If you suspect such a violation, please complete an Excessive Occupancy Questionnaire.
