Fairfax County Government Center

The Fairfax County Government Center is an administrative facility in Virginia housing multiple departments for tax administration, human resources, elections, and county operations. The building contains numerous floors designed to consolidate county services in a single location.

The facility emerged from a public-private partnership formed in 1987, following the county's acquisition of the Smith-Carney site for administrative consolidation. This development represented a major shift in how county services became centralized in one location.

The Board Auditorium serves as a public meeting space where supervisors and planning commissioners gather, allowing residents to observe and participate in local governance decisions. This venue creates a direct connection between officials and the community during regular sessions.

Visitors can access services at the information desk and contact the facility using the phone number 703-FAIRFAX, with TTY 711 available for hearing-impaired visitors. The building accommodates a wide range of administrative needs with multiple service windows and departments located throughout.

The facility replaced the former Massey Building through a land swap agreement that freed up funding for construction during economic constraints. This creative approach solved financing challenges for a major public project during a difficult period.
