Process for Subdivision Plat Approval
The Land Use Office must approve all property divisions and boundary line adjustments before recording. Please follow these steps:
· Submit a copy of the preliminary plat to the Director of Planning & Zoning for review
· After preliminary approval from Director of Planning & Zoning, the county will submit the plats to the Department of Health and the Virginia Department of Transportation (if needed) for signatures
· Have owners sign all copies of the plat; owner’s signatures must be notarized
· Submit all original plats to the Director of Planning & Zoning for the final approval; a subdivision fee will be required before plats can be picked up
· Take plat to Clerk of the Circuit Court Office for recording
