Start the work product
Find the right record office
All 95 Virginia counties and 38 independent cities. Choose the jurisdiction for your property, then follow the parcel, document and approval paths for any CRE asset type.
Confirm the county and any incorporated town responsible for the parcel. A postal city name alone does not identify the assessment or land-use authority.
Use Virginia's local-government directory to locate the county or independent city. From its official site, find the assessor or commissioner of the revenue and the parcel or real-estate record. Record the parcel ID and assessment year.
Locate the responsible circuit court clerk and confirm the land-record search route. SRA image access requires clerk authorization and a subscription; free index access is available only where the clerk has enabled it.
From the official local-government site, identify planning, zoning and building offices. Confirm whether county, city or town rules apply to the proposed activity, then request the relevant approvals, conditions and permit records.
133 of 133 jurisdictions listed alphabetically.
Jurisdiction names and FIPS identifiers: U.S. Census, January 2025. These official entry points help you locate the responsible office. Confirm the available records, access terms and currency for the property you are researching.
