Permits
Loudoun County only
Ashburn is not one of Loudoun's seven incorporated towns, so no town approval comes first. The county takes the building and trade permits through its LandMARC portal.
County: incorporated towns County: alterationsChecked Nov 14, 2026Permit fee
1% of the cost, plus $130
For a residential alteration, the county's building permit fee is 1% of construction costs, with a $130 plan review fee on top. Trade permits are separate.
County: alterationsChecked Nov 14, 2026Review time
Times change; we check
In a February 10, 2026 notice, the county put residential alteration permits at six to eight weeks from application to issuance, with trade permits on their usual pace. That was a notice at the time, not a promise for new applications, so we check the county's current status when we file.
County noticeChecked Nov 14, 2026Homeowners associations
Most neighborhoods have one
The county's planners found that most Ashburn residential developments have an HOA (2011 community report). Ashburn Village's review committee, for one, looks at exterior changes once a month.

Two Ashburn homes: a kitchen and a primary bath
Each story follows one job from the first visit to the finished room, with photos from along the way.
Cherry and granite out, a stained maple island in
Cherry cabinets and dark granite gave way to white-painted maple shaker cabinets with 42-inch uppers, a Morel-stained maple island in white quartz and darker counters around the walls. The corner pantry walls came down for a tall pantry wall and double ovens. A structural beam over the cooktop shaped the 42-inch wood hood, set over a scallop marble mosaic that runs to the ceiling.

Another home: the corner tub out, a freestanding tub in
The jetted corner tub and its tiled deck came out, and a freestanding soaking tub now sits centered under the same two windows, with a floor-mount filler. The shower grew out to the door trim behind a 48-inch half wall with a bench and a niche, and quartz caps on the half wall match the top of the new 84-inch stained double vanity.

Kitchens in Ashburn
Kitchen remodeling in Ashburn, VA: past the builder-grade kitchen
Most Ashburn houses went up after 1990, so the kitchen you are cooking in may well be the one the house came with. County planning report An Ashburn kitchen with us begins with a free visit, where a designer measures the room and asks how you cook, store and entertain. Next comes a 3D design you review at the Sterling showroom, where cabinets, quartz, tile and hardware are there to touch, and then a written proposal.
Our Ashburn kitchen story shows how a design adapts to the house. Cherry cabinets and dark granite were coming out, and a structural beam sat over the cooktop, right where the hood was planned, so the hood was redrawn wider and centered on the beam, and the homeowners picked their favorite from options in 3D. The corner pantry walls came down, and the space became a full-height pantry wall with pull-out shelves beside double ovens. Read how the Ashburn kitchen came together →
On the permit side, Loudoun County asks for a building permit when the work is an alteration, such as moving walls, framing or changing the layout, and electrical, plumbing, mechanical and gas work each get their own trade permit. Since October 1, 2025, the county reviews plans for gas permits on alterations, which matters if a range or cooktop moves. Building inspections come at framing and at the end, the trades at rough-in and final, and each one is booked a work day ahead with the approved plans on site. County: alterations
Cost: Kitchens from about $20,000. Most of our full kitchen remodels fall between $32,000 and $60,000+. A range is a starting point, not a quote.

Bathrooms in Ashburn
Bathroom remodeling in Ashburn: what to do with the corner tub
One Ashburn primary bath we remodeled had a jetted tub set into a tiled deck in the corner under two windows, with a framed shower stall beside it. A deck like that takes up a lot of floor, and that floor can do more. The two photos show the room before and after, taken from about the same spot.
In that home, the tub and its deck came out and the space was rebuilt around how the owners bathe now. A freestanding tub sits in the corner, the plumbing moved to suit it, and the shower stretched out to the door trim. A half wall between the two holds a bench and a niche on the shower side and carries a fixed glass panel, so the window light still reaches the shower. Marble-look porcelain runs full height inside the shower and as a wainscot around the rest of the room. Read the Ashburn bathroom story →
A bath like this needs a building permit, plus plumbing and electrical permits when the fixtures move and new lights or a fan go in; that home had all three with Loudoun County and passed its inspections. Prefer a walk-in shower and no tub at all? We design those as well.
Cost: Bathrooms from about $12,500. Most of our bathrooms fall between $20,000 and $60,000+. A range is a starting point, not a quote.

Permits and approvals
Who signs off on an Ashburn remodel
The county: Loudoun County Building and Development
- Ashburn has no town government of its own. Loudoun's incorporated towns are Hamilton, Hillsboro, Leesburg, Lovettsville, Middleburg, Purcellville and Round Hill; a home inside one of those needs a town zoning permit before the county's. An Ashburn home goes straight to the county. County: incorporated towns County: alterations
- Applications go in through LandMARC. For an alteration the county wants the building permit application signed by the property owner and the square footage being disturbed, and electrical, gas, mechanical and plumbing work each take a separate trade permit. County: alterations
- The building permit fee is 1% of construction costs plus a $130 plan review fee. County: alterations In February 2026 the county said alteration permits were taking six to eight weeks to issue. County notice
Your homeowners association
- The county's planners found that most residential developments in Ashburn have an HOA. County planning report Covenants differ from one community to the next, so read your own before you plan anything that shows from outside.
- Ashburn Village asks for an Exterior Modification Application before a project starts. Its Architectural and Environmental Review Committee meets on the first Thursday of the month, and applications are due by noon on the second Thursday before the meeting. Its instructions are about exterior work, such as decks, patios, fences and walkways, and do not address interiors. Ashburn Village AERC instructions
- Inside a kitchen or bath, the parts that can touch the outside are a new or resized window, an exterior door, and the vent cap of a range hood or bath fan ducted through a wall. We point those out at the design stage, so any HOA application can go in early.
The historic village
Old Ashburn, around Ashburn Road and the railroad, is on the Virginia Landmarks Register as the Ashburn Historic District. Virginia DHR If your house is one of the older homes there, tell us at the first visit so we can look at it with that in mind.

Ask Sena what your Ashburn home needs →Demolition and debris
Where an Ashburn remodel's debris and old cabinets go
- Our container: we bring our own 14-foot container for demolition and haul it away when demolition is done. If a container won't fit, the debris is kept covered on site and goes out on our truck at the end of the day.
- No county trash pickup: Loudoun County does not collect trash or recycling. Curbside service comes from the towns, some homeowners associations or a private company you hire, so check your hauler's rules before setting out anything from a do-it-yourself clear-out. County: waste management
- Loudoun County Landfill: construction and demolition debris costs $85 a ton, with an $8 minimum, and the landfill accepts only material generated in Loudoun County; commercial loads need written proof of where it came from. County landfill
- Chantilly ReStore: Habitat for Humanity DC-NOVA's store at 4311 Walney Road, (703) 953-3747, takes wood kitchen cabinets as a complete set with every door attached, Corian, granite and Silestone countertops by drop-off, and appliances under 10 years old without rust. Habitat offers a limited free pickup for large donations in Northern Virginia. ReStore locations What they accept
- Keeping cabinets for donation: tell your project manager at the final measurement, and our crew removes them whole on demolition day. They need a dry spot to wait in, and you schedule the ReStore pickup.
Check any contractor
Before you sign with an Ashburn remodeler
Virginia's licensing board, DPOR, suggests looking up the contractor's license and any past discipline, getting written estimates from at least three contractors, and keeping the first deposit to 10% or $1,000, whichever is less; licensed contractors must give you a written contract for residential work. DPOR: hiring a contractor The license class has to fit the job: Class C for jobs over $1,000 and under $30,000, Class B from $30,000 to under $150,000, and Class A from $150,000. For custom-made products, DPOR puts the down payment at about 30%. DPOR consumer sheet
The Loudoun County Sheriff's Office adds a practical warning: most disputes with a contractor end up in civil court, not criminal court, and many people who report construction fraud never got a written contract, which makes a case very hard to bring. Keep the contract and proof of every payment. Sheriff: construction fraud Sheriff FAQ We hold DPOR Class A #2705163164; look it up on DPOR by searching 2705163164.

Ashburn remodeling questions
Who issues the permits for a kitchen or bathroom remodel in Ashburn?
Loudoun County, and only Loudoun County. Ashburn is not one of the county's seven incorporated towns, so there is no town office to clear first, as there is in Leesburg or Purcellville. The county takes applications through its LandMARC portal: a building permit when the work is an alteration (walls, framing or the layout), plus separate electrical, plumbing, mechanical and gas permits for the trades involved. When a building permit is needed, the county asks for its application to be signed by the property owner, so that page comes to you; our permit department prepares the drawings, files the rest, pays the fees and books the inspections.
Does my HOA have to approve a new kitchen or bathroom?
Most Ashburn communities have a homeowners association, and the review rules we have read are about the outside of the house. Ashburn Village, for example, asks for an Exterior Modification Application before a project starts, and its review committee meets on the first Thursday of each month. Its instructions say nothing about interior work. Where a kitchen or bath can reach the outside is a new window, a door or a vent cap on an exterior wall for a range hood or bath fan, so we flag those during design and you check your own covenants before work begins.
How long does Loudoun County take to issue a remodeling permit?
In a February 10, 2026 notice, the county said residential building permits for alterations were taking six to eight weeks from application to issuance, while trade permits stayed on their usual timelines. The county updates these times, so we check the current status when we file. Plans go in once your design and selections are final, which is why we start the permit work early.
Our house still has the builder's jetted corner tub. What can replace it?
More than one option. In one Ashburn home we took the jetted tub and its deck out, centered a freestanding soaking tub under the same two windows, moved the drain and supply for it, and used the freed-up floor to make the shower bigger, behind a half wall with a bench. A tub-to-shower conversion or a larger shower with no tub at all are other ways to use that corner.
We live in Broadlands, Lansdowne or Brambleton. Is that the same process?
Yes. The county counts Broadlands, Lansdowne and part of Brambleton within its Ashburn community, and none of them is an incorporated town, so Loudoun County issues the permits there too. If your community has a homeowners association, check its covenants before any change to the outside of the house. Our Sterling showroom serves all of them.
What does a kitchen or bathroom remodel in Ashburn cost?
Kitchens from about $20,000. Most of our full kitchen remodels fall between $32,000 and $60,000+. Bathrooms from about $12,500. Most of our bathrooms fall between $20,000 and $60,000+. A range is a starting point, not a quote. The size of the room, any layout changes and your selections decide where yours lands, and a designer prices it after measuring.
