Virginia county laws

Select your county on the map or in the list. Each county page links to the official county code and meeting agendas, and lists recent ordinances and resolutions, in plain language where a summary has been written. County laws change often, and the official source is always the authority.

Good to know: Virginia has 95 counties and 38 independent cities. An independent city is not part of any county: its own City Council makes its local laws, so each city is listed here as its own area (marked “City”). Towns inside counties are not listed.
