military relocation: HORSES ARE VERY WELCOME HERE
- 01/01/08 08:46 AM
In FAIRFAX COUNTY the minimum lot size required to keep livestock on residential property is two acres. Article 2, Section 2-512 of the county Zoning Ordinance details the number and types of animals allowed. However, I recommend you contact FAIRFAX COUNTY and confirm the requirements as they may have changed without the county website being updated.
Regardless of lot size regulations some subdivisions do not allow livestock. The good news is there are areas in Fairfax County where subdivisions were developed with horse ownership in mind. They will normally be found in Clifton, Fairfax Station, Great Falls, Lorton and McLean.
