Virginia Building Footprints

The Virginia Geographic Information Network (VGIN) has coordinated the development and maintenance of a statewide Building Footprint data layer in conjunction with local governments across the Commonwealth. The Virginia Building Footprint dataset is aggregated as part of the VGIN Local Government Data Call update cycle. Localities are encouraged to submit data bi-annually and are included into the Building Footprint dataset with their most recent geography. Building footprints are polygon outlines of structures remotely rendered through digitizing of Virginia Base Mapping Program’s digital ortho-photogrammetry imagery, or digitizing of local government subdivision plats. VBMP building footprints are a collection of locally submitted data and as published from the Virginia Geographic Information Network carry no addressing, nor is there any ownership, resident information, or construction specifications provided. VBMP building footprints are not assumed to be of survey quality and carry no guarantee as to accuracy. Even with these restrictions and limitations, building outlines are a valuable resource for geospatial analysis and derivative data development. Data input from localities are processed and published quarterly. To date the majority of Virginia’s localities building footprints have been captured but not all.
