On Monday, November 3rd, the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors (BOS) voted to approve an ordinance to restrict the use of new non-conventional septic systems on homes, businesses and churches for five years. Despite testimony and input provided by hundreds of DAAR members, Loudoun residents, rural businesses, soil engineers and industry experts opposing the proposed ban before a public hearing, several public input sessions and stakeholder meetings over the past twelve months, the majority of the Board of Supervisors (6-3) approved the ordinance.

Loudoun County offers financial assistance through the Downpayment/Closing Costs Program (DPCC) to first-time homebuyers. The program has recently been expanded to better assist low-to-moderate-income homebuyers purchasing homes in the county.
Administered by the Loudoun County Department of Family Services, the program makes loans available to homebuyers with a total household income between $29,500 and $69,300. Funds are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Standard eligibility requirements apply. Highlights of the program include:
- Loan amounts up to ten percent of the purchase price or $25,000, whichever is less
- 30-year loan
- Interest rate of five percent
- Principal and interest payments deferred for the first three years
- Monthly payments begin with the fourth year and are amortized over 27 years
- No pre-payment penalty
