What this project involves
Service capacity

What matters in Manassas
A Manassas mailing address does not by itself identify the panel project's permit authority. We first confirm whether the property is in the independent City of Manassas or Prince William County, then size the work from the calculated load and existing service condition.

Property-specific answers
Local questions
Which permit office handles a Manassas panel upgrade?
City of Manassas addresses use City Community Development. A Manassas mailing address outside the independent city may fall under Prince William County Development Services, so the exact property address is checked first.
Does replacing a Manassas panel always require changing its capacity?
No. Equipment condition can justify replacement even when the existing service rating remains suitable. A load calculation and review of planned loads determine whether a capacity change belongs in the project.
