A road plan application is required to build new roads within commercial, industrial, or residential developments. A road plan is a detailed engineering plan that contains all of the essential details necessary to construct a road.

• The design of public roads must meet the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) standards and the regulations within the County Code for subdivisions.

• Private road design standards are subject to either County requirements found in the County Code, and VDOT standards, depending on the use or number of lots accessing the road. 

• Please note that road plans require surety bonds.
