The City continues to operate under modified conditions and the office is closed to the public. Most of our employees are working remotely but are available via phone or email. Staff encourages future applicants to apply online, rather than in person, by contacting Jonathan Sanders at jdsander@vbgov.com or (757) 385-1829.

Those without access to the internet may drop off applications at 2875 Sabre Street, Suite 500, placing the entire submittal package including application, plans and disclosure statement in a sealed envelope in the City Treasurer’s Drop Box located outside of the building in front of the lobby. Address the envelope to Jonathan Sanders, Department of Planning & Community Development.  Requests for a paper copy of an application can be made using the contact information below. Applicants will be notified by phone or email to confirm receipt and processing of all applications, regardless of submittal method.
