[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Falls Church city is not inside Arlington County.[/quote]

It really is. This is a very common confusion.

Falls Church City is a Class 2 city in Arlington County. It uses Arlington County Circuit Courts. Fairfax County learned this the hard way when they sued FCC about the FCC water system a few years back, initially filing in the wrong circuit court and then being forced to refile the suit with Arlington County Circuit Court.

From the map, it might look like FCC is in Fairfax County, but it is not.

Alexandria City is a local example of a Class 1 city. This means Alexandria City has its own Circuit Courts.

Falls Church City and Fairfax City both are Class 2 cities. [/quote]

No- you are wrong.  Falls Church City is an independent city, it is not in Arlington County.  It pays Arlington County to use its court system, rather than having its own.  (Similarly it pays Fairfax County to utilize its CPS services, rather than having its own.)
OP- obviously this has nothing to do with what jurisdiction you want to look at- but if you are looking to be inside the beltway, you are really looking at either APS or FCCPS- and my vote would strongly be for the idyllic community of Falls Church City.[/quote]

Nope. Lookup how Class 2 cities are structured in the VA Code. Any competent VA lawyer will confirm that FCC is a Class 2 city located in Arlington County. [/quote]
