Eastern suburbs, western towns

Eastern Loudoun holds most of the population in unincorporated communities like Ashburn, Sterling, South Riding and Brambleton. These are planned neighborhoods, townhouse rows and apartment complexes, many with homeowner association gates or amenity entrances, plus offices and data centers near Dulles Airport.

Leesburg, the county seat, is the county's largest incorporated town. West of it, the towns of Purcellville, Round Hill, Hamilton, Hillsboro, Lovettsville and Middleburg sit among farms, wineries and long private lanes near the West Virginia line.

All of those towns are inside the county, so the Loudoun County rate applies across them. The county borders Fairfax and Prince William, and Maryland lies across the Potomac to the north.

Loudoun County questions

Are Leesburg and Purcellville priced differently from Ashburn?

No. Towns in Loudoun are part of the county, so one county starting rate applies.

What if an HOA gate guard will not let the server in?

The server records the refusal and tries other lawful approaches, such as other times or a work address. DFS never forces or tricks its way in.

Which federal division covers Loudoun County?

The Alexandria Division of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.
