Dickenson County, VA
Building Department
How permitting works in Virginia
In Virginia, the county's role is clearly defined and territorially distinct. Because cities are "independent" from counties, the county building department has full and exclusive authority for permitting and inspections in all unincorporated land and within the boundaries of any incorporated towns that reside inside the county.
Cities and Counties separate; clean territorial split.
