Design & Construction Standards
The Prince William County Design and Construction Standards Manual (DCSM) has been developed and designated to assist the public with the policies and regulations that apply to land development in the County. The provisions relate primarily to the requirements which apply to the review and approval of site development plans and plats, and construction in accordance with those plans.
Live Entertainment
A Certificate of Live Entertainment (CLE) is required prior to a business offering a regular reoccurring form of live entertainment, or when a Temporary Activity Permit request includes a form of entertainment. Not everyone is required to obtain a CLE.
Administrative Procedures
The Administrative Procedures Manual sets forth the process which applicants need to follow to gain approval of site development plans and pursue construction of land improvements on a parcel of land in Prince William County.
