Virginia Administrative Boundaries

GDB Version: ArcGIS Pro 3.3 Additional Resources: * [Shapefile Download] * [Shapefile Download (Clipped to VIMS shoreline)] * [Administrative Boundary Data Standard] * [Historical GDB Downloads] [REST Endpoint (Unclipped)] - [REST Endpoint (Clipped)] The Administrative Boundary feature classes represent the best available boundary information in Virginia. VGIN initially sought to develop an improved city, county, and town boundary dataset in late 2013, spurred by response of the Virginia Administrative Boundaries Workgroup community. The feature class initially started from an extraction of features from the Census TIGER dataset for Virginia. VGIN solicited input from localities in Virginia through the Road Centerlines data submission process as well as through public forums such as the Virginia Administrative Boundaries Workgroup and VGIN listservs. Data received were analyzed and incorporated into the appropriate feature classes where locality data were a superior representation of boundaries. Administrative Boundary geodatabase and shapefiles are unclipped to hydrography features by default. The clipped to hydro dataset is included as a separate shapefile download below.
NHS Master Route

This feature class consists of linear data which indicates the National Highway status of a road segment. This can be used to identify inclusion in the National Highway System. This data is owned by the VDOT Transportation and Mobility Planning Division (TMPD). This data is derived from the VDOT Linear Referencing System and is updated nightly based on LRS changes, and updates to the business information. The Linear Referencing System is based on the Virginia Department of Transportation's source system of record for road inventory.
Addresses

The address point layer consists of points placed within building footprints. Since 2001, the building footprints and driveways have been GPS'd, typically within an accuracy of around 3 feet. The address number is generated on a grid based system developed by MSAG Data Consultants in 1992. The address number is created by where it's driveway intersects the road it comes off of on the address grid. The E-911 Ordinance and E-911 Guidance documents address the process for assigning addresses. The "Type" field specifies whether the address point is residential, commercial, industrial, etc.
Roads

The current road centerline system was established in 1992 by MSAG Data Consultants and is based on a grid based numbering system. Since 2001, all new roads are GPS'd, typically to an accuracy of about 3 feet. Other road centerlines are updated with aerial imagery as needed. When three or more addresses are off of one driveway it becomes a new road. The E-911 Ordinance and E-911 Guidance documents address the process for naming roads. This layer contains attribution for road class type and other routing data.

Opportunity Zones

The Opportunity Zone, which consists of two census tracts, is a portion of the City where new investments, under certain conditions, may be eligible for preferential tax treatment. The program, which is the result of legislation passed by Congress in December 2017, is designed to incentivize patient capital investments in the area, thereby encouraging revitalization. The underlying incentives relate to the tax treatment of capital gains, and all are tied to the longevity of an investor’s stake in a qualified Opportunity Fund, providing the most upside to those who hold their investment for 10 years or more. We only determined the census tracks where this is applicable and do not manage the details of this so we encourage those interested to speak with their accountant.
Enterprise Zone 2026

Enterprise Zones are state-designated areas that provide a framework for coordinating activities to improve economic conditions in targeted areas. Virginia's Enterprise Zone program has been in place since 1982, and Staunton's current zone was re-designated in 2010 and runs through 2044. As an Enterprise Zone business, you now have access to both state and local incentive programs: State Programs (please note that the new boundary is retroactive for these grants and will apply to any grant applications for this grant cycle): * Real Property Investment Grants * Job Creation Grants Local Programs (New as of 2026): Large Business Investment Incentive – Graduated tax rebates for significant machinery, tools, or business personal property investments paired with job creation Façade & Renovation Grant – Up to $10,000 for commercial property improvements, including both exterior and interior renovations Small Business Technology & Training Grant – Up to $5,000 to support technology upgrades and employee skill development Job Creation Performance Grant – Financial incentives for creating new full-time positions with health benefits, including bonuses for training and retention Marketing Support Grant – Up to $2,500 to help new businesses or business expansions establish market presence

Crime Data

*This dataset is updated nightly. Crime data represents the initial information that is provided by individuals calling for police assistance. Please note that the dataset only contains the last 5 years. Remaining information is often amended for accuracy after an Officer arrives and investigates the reported incident. Most often, the changes are made to more accurately reflect the official legal definition of the crimes reported. An example of this is for someone to report that they have been "robbed," when their home was broken into while they were away. The official definition of "robbery" is to take something by force. An unoccupied home being broken into, is actually defined as a "burglary," or a "breaking and entering." While there are mechanisms in place to make each initial call as accurate as possible, some events require evaluation upon arrival. Caution should be used when making assumptions based solely on the data provided, as they may not represent the official crime reports.
Arrests

*This data is updated nightly from the Police Reporting Server housed at the ECC every day at 11:59PM. Arrest data contains information on people taken into custody by City of Charlottesville police officers. More serious crimes such as felony offenses are more likely to result in an arrest. However, arrests can occur as a result of other offenses, such as parole violations or a failure to appear for trial. This dataset only contains information reported by City of Charlottesville Police. It does not contain information about incidents that solely involve other police departments operating within the city (for example, University of Virginia police or Albemarle County police).

Zoning

In 2007, MSAG Data Consultants was hired to digitize the Official zoning maps in the Community Development Office and to create a GIS zoning layer. The zoning layer is updated as coincident parcels are changed, re-zonings approved. The updated zoning layer is then uploaded to ArcGIS Online. There are ten zoning classes: A-1, A-2, A-3, R-1, R-2, R-3, C-1, C-2, I, IL.
OC_building_footprints_2026

This data is AI-generated imagery features. The process is feature extraction/classification from the imagery. This was part of the impervious surface datapack that was delivered from EagleView. The data was developed by Ecopia, which is an EagleView partner. Imagery was collected during leaf off conditions (March of 2026) with a 2" resolution, to be able to help with identifying as many features as possible. The imagery is used for real estate assessment department for assessments. The building footprints were queried and exported from the impervious surface datapack. It was saved into the County's Enterprise Geodatabase and published to the county's Portal as a referenced data set and to ArcGIS Online as a hosted feature service. There is no planned up data until 2028 at the earliest and if funding is available.
Parcels

In 2005 MSAG data consultants was hired to digitize King George County's tax maps and create a parcel layer for the GIS. The parcels are updated multiple times a year using coordinate geometry processes to enter the bearings and transcripts from the plats. The parcel data is joined to the County CAMA data from the Commissioner of the Revenue's Office. After this process the parcel data is updated to ArcGIS Online.
FEMA Floodplains

Flood hazard areas identified on the Flood Insurance Rate Map are identified as a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). SFHA are defined as the area that will be inundated by the flood event having a 1-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year. The 1-percent annual chance flood is also referred to as the base flood or 100-year flood. SFHAs are labeled as Zone A, Zone AO, Zone AH, Zones A1-A30, Zone AE, Zone A99, Zone AR, Zone AR/AE, Zone AR/AO, Zone AR/A1-A30, Zone AR/A, Zone V, Zone VE, and Zones V1-V30. Moderate flood hazard areas, labeled Zone B or Zone X (shaded) are also shown on the FIRM, and are the areas between the limits of the base flood and the 0.2-percent-annual-chance (or 500-year) flood. The areas of minimal flood hazard, which are the areas outside the SFHA and higher than the elevation of the 0.2-percent-annual-chance flood, are labeled Zone C or Zone X (unshaded).
Contours - Eastern

In the spring of 2017, the Commonwealth of Virginia, through the Virginia Geographic Information Network Division (herein referred to as VGIN) of the Virginia Information Technologies Agency (VITA) contracted with Fugro Geospatial, Inc. to provide aerial data acquisition, ground control, aerial triangulation and development of statewide ortho quality DEM and digital orthophotography data. The Virginia Base Mapping Program (VBMP) update project is divided into three collection phases: In 2017, Fugro flew the eastern third of Virginia at one foot resolution, with options for localities and other interested parties to upgrade resolution or purchase other optional products through the state contract. The middle third of Virginia will be flown in 2018 and the western third in 2019. Ortho products are 1-foot resolution statewide with upgrades to 6-inch resolution tiles and 3-inch resolution tiles in various regions within the project area. The Virginia Base Mapping project encompasses the entire land area of the Commonwealth of Virginia over 4 years. The State boundary is buffered by 1000'. Coastal areas of the State bordering the Atlantic Ocean or the Chesapeake Bay are buffered by 1000' or the extent of man-made features extending from shore. This metadata record describes the generation of new Digital Terrain Model (DTM) and contours generated at 2-foot intervals. All products are being delivered in the North American Datum of 1983 (1986), State Plane Virginia North. The vertical datum was the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) using GEOID12B. Lines of equal elevation on a surface. An imaginary line on the ground, all points of which are at the same elevation above or below a specified reference surface (vertical datum)
