Who Handles This?

Playground and Common Areas
Report a problem or suggest an improvement to the playground or association common areas. Share a Concern or Suggestion
Pothole, road damage, or snow
Check whether the road is state-maintained or private before choosing a reporting route. Roads & snow guidance
Missed trash pickup
Each homeowner arranges private trash and recycling collection. Contact your provider for missed pickups and schedules. Trash & recycling guidance
Tree, drainage, or streetlight problem
Location and ownership matter; the county guides help identify the appropriate contact. Trees & drainage · Streetlights

The association maintains common areas such as the park and playground, not neighborhood roads, streetlights or drainage outside those common areas. Private streets and privately maintained systems have separate responsibilities.

Immediate danger? Call 9-1-1 for an emergency. For a nonemergency public-safety incident, Fairfax County lists 703-691-2131 . This is not a routine HOA maintenance line. County public-safety guidance Official site

Streetlight Outages

Use the county’s guide to identify the pole and appropriate utility or owner. Streetlights are not the same as traffic signals; privately owned lights have their own reporting route.
